The Brief

  • Brewers beat Rays 4-1 in Game 5 to win 2026 World Series.
  • Brewers went 10-2 in postseason, with only two losses to teams trying to avoid sweeps.
  • Rays fell short of historic comeback from 3-0 deficit in World Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers claimed their first World Series title in franchise history with a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 of the 2026 Fall Classic.

The win completed a dominant postseason run for the Brewers, who went 10-2 in the postseason, with their only two losses coming against teams attempting to avoid sweeps.

The decisive game featured a shutout start by Jacob Misiorowski, who exited due to cramps, and a strong performance from the Brewers' bullpen. The lineup provided consistent production throughout the game.

The Brewers' victory ended a 57-year championship drought, leaving only four MLB teams without a title: the San Diego Padres, Colorado Rockies, Seattle Mariners, and the Rays.

The Rays attempted to become the first team to come back from a 3-0 World Series deficit, but they failed to force a Game 6. No team has ever done so.

The Brewers' win also marked the end of their tie with the San Diego Padres for the oldest team in MLB without a title. The Brewers had been tied with the Padres for the longest title drought in the league.
