The Milwaukee Brewers have won their first World Series with a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in game five.
A single from Cooper Pratt sent Brice Turang home to put Milwaukee ahead at the top of the second inning, before the Brewers added another score in the fifth off a David Hamilton hit.
They doubled their lead in their next at-bat through a double from William Contreras and Pratt’s sacrifice-fly.
The Rays were finally able to get on the scoreboard in the ninth, but Milwaukee’s pitcher Jacob Misiorowski slammed the door shut with a stellar effort on the mound.
He gave up just one run on four hits with three strikeouts and a walk over his five innings.
Chandler Simpson was the sole Ray to make an impact with the bat, sending Liam Hicks home off a double.
Milwaukee finished with a collective eight hits as they were crowned World Series champions for the first time in the franchise’s 58-year history.
