Milwaukee can win its first World Series on Tuesday night. The Brewers lead Tampa Bay 3-0, and Game 4 is Tuesday, October 27, at 8 p.m. ET on Fox from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. It also streams on FOX One, with FOX Deportes carrying the Spanish language broadcast.
Milwaukee won Game 3 by 10-1 on Monday, October 26, after an eight-run fifth inning. The earlier games were closer, with Milwaukee winning Game 1 by 3-2 and Game 2 by 5-4. A Tampa Bay win in Game 4 keeps the series alive and sends it to Game 5, if necessary, on Wednesday, October 28, back at Tropicana Field. A Milwaukee win ends it.
Tampa Bay is expected to start Griffin Jax, and Milwaukee had not named a starter in the previews published Tuesday. Jax has not pitched in the series.
Milwaukee has never won a World Series. Its only previous appearance ended in a seven game loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982. Tampa Bay is also still seeking a first title, and a loss Tuesday ends its season at home.
Milwaukee has won eight games in a row in the postseason, dating back to the National League Division Series against San Diego, after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 in the National League Championship Series. A win Tuesday would make Milwaukee the first team to sweep both the League Championship Series and the World Series since the League Championship Series became a best of seven series in 1985. The last team to sweep both was the 1976 Cincinnati Reds, when the League Championship Series was a best of five series.
No team has lost a World Series after leading 3-0. In 25 previous World Series, the team ahead 3-0 won the title all 25 times.
