Brewers Clinch World Series Opener in Nail-Biter
25 Oct
Summary
- Brewers narrowly won the World Series opener.
- Tampa Bay had tying run in scoring position in ninth.
- Many MLB postseason games are decided by one run.
The Milwaukee Brewers have successfully defended home turf in the World Series opener, though not without late-game drama. Tampa Bay had the tying run at second base with just one out in the ninth inning, highlighting the tight nature of the contest.
This marked the 11th one-run game of the current MLB postseason, a statistic that, while notable, falls short of the 2016 record of sixteen such games. Historically, the 1972 Oakland Athletics are remembered for their exceptional number of close games.
In the current season, the Brewers have participated in five games decided by a single run, holding an impressive 4-1 record. The Rays, their opponents, have played four one-run games with a balanced 2-2 record.
