The Milwaukee Brewers captured a 3-2 victory in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, marking the first World Series game hosted in Milwaukee in 44 years. Ace pitcher Jacob Misiorowski set the tone with a 103.5 mph fastball, striking out batters and allowing only one run over five innings. This win signifies the Brewers' first World Series victory in Milwaukee since October 17, 1982.
Early offense provided support for Misiorowski, with Christian Yelich driving in the first run and William Contreras adding another RBI in the first inning. The Rays managed to score, but the Brewers' bullpen, including Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and Trevor Megill, effectively shut down their attempts to rally. Megill secured the final out with a strikeout, sealing the Game 1 win.
The series continues Saturday with Game 2 at American Family Field, followed by Game 3 in St. Petersburg on Monday.
