Summary
Milwaukee moved to the brink of its first championship with a 10-1 Game 3 win in Tampa Bay, taking a 3-0 World Series lead with Game 4 set for Tuesday.
An eight-run fifth inning broke the game open after a replay reversal loaded the bases, and Jackson Chourio fueled it with four hits, including two in the rally.
Robert Gasser gave Tampa Bay little chance to answer, allowing one hit across six innings while William Contreras and Brice Turang added three hits apiece.
Tampa Bay's mistakes kept compounding — Chandler Simpson was caught stealing, Victor Mesa Jr. misplayed a ball in right, and Taylor Walls' missed liner opened the floodgates.
Milwaukee has now won eight straight postseason games, tying an MLB record, and can clinch both the title and the mark outright in Game 4.
