Not Dead Yet: Rays 4, Brewers 3 in 12 Innings

The Tampa Bay Rays escaped a potential sweep in the 2026 World Series by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in a marathon 12-inning contest at Tropicana Field. Ben Williamson secured the victory with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 12th, capping a game that lasted four hours and 15 minutes.

Griffin Jax pitched four innings for Tampa Bay, facing nine hard-hit balls with exit velocities of at least 96 MPH, though only one resulted in a hit until the fourth inning. The Brewers tied the score at 2-2 when David Hamilton homered off Jax's final pitch, which clocked in at a game-low 93.4 MPH.

The Rays' bullpen, tasked with recording 15 outs, saw Kevin Kelly and Nick Martinez each strand a runner on base before Bryan Baker took the mound in the eighth inning. The game featured a notable defensive play where Junior Caminero scored on an errant throw by Hamilton, despite moving on contact from second base.
