Milwaukee Brewers win first World Series title, beating Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5
Summary
The Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series championship in franchise history on Wednesday night, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 to complete a four-games-to-one series win. Rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt drove in two runs, and Jacob Misiorowski pitched five and two-thirds scoreless innings. Contreras was named World Series MVP after batting .381. The title came in the franchise's 58th season, which began as the Seattle Pilots in 1969, and ended a wait of more than half a century. It was the Brewers' first Fall Classic appearance in 44 years, and reports describe the small-ball club, playing in the smallest market in the majors, as an underdog story.
