The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 of the World Series tonight, with the first pitch scheduled for 8 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Brewers currently lead the series 2-0, while the Rays are looking to recover from a significant loss in Game 2.
In Game 2, the Rays initially established a four-run lead in the first inning but ultimately fell to the Brewers, who capitalized on a series of mistakes. Sal Frelick played a key role, hitting a leadoff home run in the sixth inning to tie the game, and Cooper Pratt drove in the winning run in the seventh, leading to a come-from-behind 5-4 victory for Milwaukee.
For tonight’s matchup, the Brewers will send left-hander Robert Gasser to the mound. Gasser, who has a record of 5-5 and an ERA of 3.87, impressed in his last outing, throwing five scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.
The Rays will counter with right-hander Freddy Peralta, who enters the game with a record of 10-11 and an ERA of 4.42. Peralta was named ALCS MVP after allowing just one earned run over 12 innings in three playoff appearances, demonstrating strong performance against the Cleveland Guardians.
