MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN — The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night at American Family Field, but only after a replay review took away what looked like a game-ending double play, according to MLB.com.
With the bases loaded in the ninth, Liam Hicks grounded to second baseman Brice Turang, who started a 4-6-3 double play. Replay showed shortstop Cooper Pratt's foot came off the bag, so the out at second was overturned and Jorge Mateo scored to make it 3-2. Trevor Megill then struck out Jonny DeLuca for the final out.
Christian Yelich, in his first World Series at-bat, tripled home Jackson Chourio in the first inning, and William Contreras lined a hit that scored Yelich for a 2-0 lead. Contreras also threw out Victor Mesa Jr. trying for third in the fifth and caught Jonathan Aranda stealing in the sixth. Chourio singled in Pratt in the seventh for the run Milwaukee needed.
Jacob Misiorowski went five innings and allowed one earned run on four hits, and his 103.5 mph first pitch set a World Series record. It was the first World Series game in Milwaukee since 1982.
"He kept his composure, and that was the biggest at-bat of the game," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of Megill.
Game 2 is Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on FOX, with Drew Rasmussen starting for the Rays.
The 27th out had to be recorded twice.
