Brewers Rout

Milwaukee routed Tampa Bay 10-1 on Monday night, moving the Brewers one win from their first World Series title.

Eight runs crossed the plate in the fifth inning alone, the Associated Press reported. All in one inning. Brice Turang's single drove in two. Jackson Chourio went 4 for 5 with a double, according to NPR. Three games in, he has eight hits. Through a translator, Chourio said he treated every at-bat "like it could be my last."

Turang and catcher William Contreras each added three hits as Milwaukee racked up 16 hits off five Tampa Bay pitchers, while rookie left-hander Robert Gasser held Tampa Bay to one hit and faced the minimum through six innings, according to NPR. Not since Arizona's Curt Schilling in 2001 had a World Series starter faced the minimum 18 batters through six innings, and no left-hander had done it since Sandy Koufax in 1965, according to NPR.

Freddy Peralta took the mound for Tampa Bay, working against the Brewers, his former club. The American League Championship Series MVP allowed five runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, NPR reported. Rays manager Kevin Cash said Peralta "felt really good" but ran into "inconsistencies in and out of the strike zone." Milwaukee has now won eight straight, tying the record for a single postseason, according to NPR.

At home, Milwaukee won the opener 3-2. Rookie Jacob Misiorowski threw a 103.5 mph fastball that game, the fastest pitch in World Series history, BBC News reported. It was Milwaukee's first World Series appearance since 1982.

Tampa Bay reached the Series the hard way, rallying from a 2-1 deficit against Cleveland in the ALCS and winning three straight, capped by a 7-3 clincher, NBC News reported.

Game 4 is set for Tuesday night at Tropicana Field. Forty-three teams have fallen behind 3-0 in a best-of-seven postseason series. Only one has come back, the 2004 Boston Red Sox, according to NPR. Cash called it "a chip and a chair mentality," saying the only thing Tampa Bay could do was win the next game.

"Normally it's 35,000 against nine, but tonight we had 20,000 people behind us," Gasser said, according to NPR.
