ST. PETERSBURG, Fla–The Milwaukee Brewers win the first World Series championship, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 in St. Petersburg.
Cooper Pratt got the Brewers on the board in the 2nd inning with an RBI single. He would score in the 5th inning on a single by David Hamilton, and then drove in another run with a sacrifice fly in the 6th.
Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski pitched 5 and 2/3rds innings allowing no runs and striking out two before leaving with cramping in his right calf.
Trevor Megill pitched the final two innings, allowing one run to seal the win.
The Brewers only other trip to the Fall Classic came in 1982, when they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals four games to three.
