Brewers carry 2-0 advantage into World Series Game 3 against Rays
Milwaukee has won the first two games of a best-of-seven series against Tampa Bay, putting the Brewers halfway to a first championship. The matchup also could become baseball’s first World Series played entirely indoors.
MILWAUKEE — The Brewers head into Game 3 of the World Series with a 2-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays, two wins from the franchise’s first championship.
Milwaukee took the first two games of the best-of-seven series, played between Major League Baseball’s top teams, and now has a chance to extend its advantage as the series continues. Tampa Bay must win to avoid falling further behind.
Neither the Brewers nor the Rays has won a World Series, so the matchup will produce a first-time champion. The series is also expected to be baseball’s first played entirely indoors, according to the game preview.
The Brewers’ Game 2 victory sparked celebrations among fans in Milwaukee, where some supporters watched from outside American Family Field. The team’s 2-0 lead has added momentum to a postseason run drawing attention across southeastern Wisconsin.
