The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time, closing out the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, to win the series in five games.
Game 5 was played at Tropicana Field. The stadium sits in St. Petersburg, Florida. Milwaukee won that clinching contest by a score of 4-1, according to NBC News.
The franchise had gone 57 seasons without a championship title, NBC News reported. Two days before the clincher, on October 26, the Brewers routed Tampa Bay 10-1 in Game 4, leaving Milwaukee needing just one more victory, NPR reported. Three young players contributed to the Brewers' run through October, NPR said.
