Summary
Milwaukee clinched its first championship 44 years after its only prior World Series appearance, beating Tampa Bay 4-1 in St. Petersburg to take the series in five games.
Cooper Pratt set the tone with a second-inning RBI single, then added a sacrifice fly as the Brewers built a 4-0 lead one night after the Rays' 13-inning walk-off in Game 4.
Jacob Misiorowski carried Milwaukee through 5.2 innings before cramping forced an early exit; he allowed two hits and one walk as an exhausted bullpen closed out the title.
The championship capped a 103-59 season for a Brewers club with MLB's 19th-ranked $146 million payroll, while the Rays entered the Series with the league's 28th-ranked $95.6 million payroll.
