Rallying Rays join rare company by forcing Game 5 facing 3-0 deficit

The Rays staved off elimination by defeating the Brewers 4-3 in a 12-inning thriller at Tropicana Field. This victory makes them the fifth team in history to force a Game 5 after trailing 3-0 in the World Series.

Cooper Pratt provided a highlight for Milwaukee with a tiebreaking home run in the 12th, becoming the first rookie to achieve that feat in an extra-inning World Series game. Pratt also recorded four hits, a record for a rookie in a potential clincher, while teammate Jackson Chourio continued his historic postseason performance by reaching 10 hits through the first four games.
