3 Rays to blame for crushing 5-game World Series loss to Brewers

The Tampa Bay Rays needed another escape Wednesday night to keep their 2026 season alive. Instead, their offense disappeared and their bullpen allowed a manageable deficit to grow. It was a similar script to Game 3 , when the Rays also failed to generate enough offense against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers won 4-1 at Tropicana Field, closing out the 2026 World Series in five games. The Rays collected only four hits and scored their only run in the ninth inning, too late to prevent the Brewers from celebrating their first championship.
