The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time in franchise history, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on Wednesday night, according to the Associated Press.
The win capped what AP described as one of the most dominant postseasons in recent memory for Milwaukee. Yahoo Sports reported that the Brewers' plate discipline wore down Tampa Bay's pitching staff one final time to seal the 2026 title.
The Rays avoided a shutout in the clinching game but could not stop Milwaukee from closing out the series, per Yahoo Sports. The victory marks a historic breakthrough for a franchise that had never before claimed baseball's ultimate prize.
