Tampa Bay kept its World Series hopes alive by rallying for two runs in the bottom of the 12th inning to beat Milwaukee 4–3 in Game 4 at Tropicana Field.
The game began October 27 and finished after midnight Eastern time on October 28. Milwaukee still leads the best-of-seven series 3–1, with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday night in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Cooper Pratt’s solo home run gave the Brewers a 3–2 lead in the top of the 12th, putting them three outs from a championship. Tampa Bay responded after Junior Caminero reached on a throwing error and Liam Hicks singled.
Jonny DeLuca then drove in pinch-runner Cedric Mullins to tie the game. Chandler Simpson’s single loaded the bases, and pinch-hitter Ben Williamson delivered the winning hit into right field.
The rally ended Milwaukee’s eight-game postseason winning streak, Sports Illustrated reported. The Brewers had been trying to complete consecutive sweeps of the National League Championship Series and World Series.
Tampa Bay’s win prevents a sweep but leaves the Rays needing three more victories to win the championship.
