00:02Inside Tropicana Field we're all set for game three of the World Series as the
00:06scene shifts from Wisconsin to St. Petersburg Florida. The Brewers with a
00:122-0 series lead two wins away from the first championship in franchise history.
00:17The Rays take the field behind Freddy Peralta and Junior Camonero trying to
00:21strike back. And now sets his sights on his old team. Pitched eight seasons for
00:26Milwaukee. Churio. Cooks a line drive base hit to start it. Lead off single for
00:32Jackson Churio. He has done that every game for the Brewers in the World Series a
00:36first inning hit to get the offense going and now it's Jake Bowers. Comes home with a 2-2. Sticks
00:43for the
00:43fourth zone. Gets the strikeout. It's a great example of sticking with it. Hand behind the
00:48ball. Fastball up. Looks good to a hitter. Cannot come off that fastball at any
00:53point tonight. Here he comes to Christian Jelic who jumps on the first pitch heater. Pop down the line. No
00:58man's land. It's down. Christian Jelic finds the turf. First and second run away. So Jelic with his third hit
01:06of the World Series and the hottest hitter in the playoffs. William Contreras is the batter. He's the cleanup hitter
01:11for the Brewers.
01:11Peralta delivers. Little bit inside. Challenge coming right away from Nick Fortes. Wow. The Rays down a challenge in the
01:20first inning. 2-1 from Peralta. Popped up. That short Taylor Walls. Two out. This is a great test for
01:30Peralta. Obviously you wanted a clean inning. You want one, two, threes as many as you can.
01:34But coming off that loss and coming here at home and having first and second one out. You get out
01:40of that inning. It's a huge emotional joke. And he does. A changeup. Bounce to Taylor Walls. And has scored
01:46his first inning for Freddy Peralta. John, it's not been Mizorowski or Henderson but Robert Gasser that's been Milwaukee's best
01:52starter in the playoffs. Yeah, he's been fearless with the newfound two-seam fastball. And he's just filling up the
01:57strike zone and letting his defense work. And the Rays for the first time stopping Milwaukee in the first inning
02:03in this World Series.
02:04Now can they take the lead as they did in the first inning in the game soon? Swing. Line try.
02:08Base hits center field. Hit very hard. Cut off by Mitchell. And Yandy Diaz smokes one to center. A base
02:16hit to start the Rays first. Brian Vallee getting the start against the lefty. What do you think about this?
02:20You got Jonathan Aranda who's four for seven benched. Yeah, I know sometimes this year we get so kind of
02:26information heavy and we go on the numbers. And yes, Gasser's really tough on left-handers. But you got to
02:32consider your left-handers.
02:34And who they are in your lineup. How to refrain. Well, it sends a fly ball to right field. Routine
02:38for Sal Freelich. And Gasser's has his first out.
02:43The interesting thing here, and I know, you know, this lineup construction, when you've got this fast of a guy
02:49batting third.
02:50Swing ground ball could be two. Out to short. Pratt to second for one. Tarango to first. Nope, they're not
02:55going to get Simpson.
02:56He beats it out. Play goes six to four. Runner at first two down.
03:00So it's a fielder's choice. That's a double play ball for 99.9% of humanity. Not named Chandler Simpson.
03:07Simpson just wants to make life miserable right now. I don't think he's actually going to steal with Camonero up
03:13there.
03:13I think they want to give him a chance to drive a ball and get to hit.
03:17Simpson takes off. Here's the pitch. It's low. Throw down to second base.
03:20He's on the bag, and he is out. He came off the bag, and Chandler Simpson is cut down for
03:27the first time this postseason.
03:29Not quite at Dikembe Mutombo from William Contreras, but close.
03:34And it's a clutch stealing to end the Rays. Home half the first inning.
03:39So Mitchell heads to first base. The leadoff man is on for a second straight inning against Freddie Peralta.
03:44It's Cooper Pratt.
03:44And the pitch swung on a miss, strike three. A changeup takes care of Cooper Pratt. Freddie's second K.
03:51And Sal Freelich, who hit one of the biggest home runs of his career in game number two.
03:56Freelich sends a deep drive towards the right field corner. Simpson's over. Short ball.
04:01Oh! Superman play! Chandler Simpson! And the game's biggest stage!
04:08And he went, I mean, chest first, into the wall and left.
04:13Then he gets a standing ovation from the crowd as he now gets up and walks back to his position.
04:18What a play by Simpson.
04:20A Gold Glove finalist likely will win the Gold Glove, and that play was spectacular
04:26as he stole extra bases, sprinting to the corner to take that away from Sal Freelich.
04:33Gold Glove finalist Chandler Simpson saved the day, at least for the moment.
04:38Coming arrows up there, as he was when the first inning ended, with Simpson getting caught trying to steal second.
04:43One pitch and one out in the second, and a good start for Gasser.
04:46Williamson is 0 for 15 against Milwaukee this year, going back to the early days of the season.
04:51Won a hopper right at Bryce Terang.
04:53He fields it and throws the first to get Ben Williamson.
04:57That ball was hit hard off the bat of Williamson.
04:59Here now Johnny DeLuca, flared to shallow center, and Mitchell is there and makes the catch.
05:05Quick and easy for Robert Gasser as he throws just five pitches to get through the Rays at the bottom
05:10of the second.
05:11Hamilton sought off right here.
05:13Peralta retires him for the first out of the third, and the more quick outs he can get, the better
05:17for Tampa Bay.
05:17Yeah, absolutely.
05:18I mean, it's not as easy as it's just throwing the first pitch down the middle.
05:21You don't want to do that, but you want to stay in competitive counts so that you don't have to
05:25work so hard against this deep lineup.
05:27Jackson Churio, start of the game with a single, now five for ten in the World Series.
05:34Sorry, Joe.
05:35I said he had a swing at the first pitch.
05:37He's got three consecutive multi-hit games to start the fall classic.
05:41Yeah, breaking ball.
05:42He's been hitterish now, and when a guy's hitterish, you've got to make sure that ball's down the middle.
05:47We'll see if the Brewers may be a little bit more aggressive early against Peralta this second time through.
05:52If that's any indication, the answer would be yes.
05:55And now here's Jake Bowers, who struck out against Peralta back in the first.
05:59He's 0 for 1 tonight.
06:00Misses in.
06:00That's ball four, and the Brewers are at first and second with one away.
06:04Brewers had a similar situation to this back in the first inning, and were unable to turn it into anything.
06:09Now they'll have their captain, Christian Yelich, who had a blue pit in the left back in the first inning
06:14at the plate here.
06:16James White left side.
06:18That's a base hitter.
06:19Cheerio run it beautifully.
06:21Milwaukee's on the board first.
06:23The captain delivers one to nothing Brewers.
06:26Again, Ross will haunt you, and this is not hit hard at all.
06:32Matter of fact, the bat, ball almost stays on the bat.
06:35He just hits it perfectly over the infield, and enough to where you talked about the read was fantastic at
06:42Cheerio.
06:43It was the bottom of the order in game two.
06:44It's the top of the order so far in game three.
06:47It's Contreras.
06:48Hacking one down the line.
06:50Long run for Mesa.
06:51Not going to get there.
06:52This time they had to be sure.
06:54Mesa juggled the ball.
06:56Throw goes to second.
06:57They'll get Contreras, but Milwaukee gets the run.
07:00Two to nothing as Bowers scores.
07:03Just a little flare into right near the line.
07:06It was a long way for Mesa to come.
07:08He couldn't get there and make the catch.
07:10It dropped in front of him.
07:12Then he bobbled it.
07:13Bowers was holding up to see if he was going to catch it, but once the bobble happened, Matt Erickson
07:20waved him home.
07:21Contreras with another RBI this postseason.
07:24Two and nothing.
07:25Terrain grounded to short his only timeout.
07:27Grounds one over the mound.
07:28It's second.
07:28Jordan Williamson throws in time to end the inning, but the Brewers strike first in game three as they try
07:34to move to within one win of a world championship.
07:38And Freddy Peralta has a 1-2-3 inning for the first time tonight.
07:42Hopefully that is the start of something for the Rays.
07:45Down 2-0 mid-4 in game three of the World Series.
07:48Now to Diaz pops up the first pitch of the fourth, and we didn't have time to say how important
07:53this inning is for him, or the big dogs coming up, and that bullpen lumen.
07:56Yeah, this is a must-score inning for the Rays.
08:01Oh, challenge from Contreras on one that was right at the bottom of the zone.
08:05Did he get it?
08:06He did for strike three.
08:09Impacting the game in so many ways, big and small.
08:13And there's really nothing you can do if you're Valet but tip your cap there up, which is impossible to
08:18foul well.
08:19He has been incredible, and it's been difference-making.
08:22So it's a strikeout of Valet.
08:24Now here's Simpson with two down.
08:26Easy bounce at a second.
08:27Routine for Terrain.
08:29And the inning is over.
08:30Another 1-2-3 for Robert Gasser, who is rolling so far here tonight at the drop.
08:369-1-2 for Milwaukee.
08:38It's Hamilton leading off against Peralta.
08:41Hamilton.
08:42Looping catch by Junior Caminero.
08:46Slapped it left side, and Caminero hovered up there.
08:49Take it away.
08:50One away.
08:50These players hitters are all going the other way against Freddy Peralta, and Junior, fortunately, was in the right place
08:56to make the play.
08:57And now the top of the order for a third time.
08:59Here's Jackson Churio.
09:0122-year-old from Venezuela.
09:03Strokes another in the right center field.
09:05Now Jackson Churio is 3-for-3.
09:07Mounting a case for World Series MVP, Sal Felix Yellen.
09:12It doesn't matter what you throw him.
09:14And this, if I'm the catcher, I'm saying, look, we've got to make sure, keep the game right here.
09:19He's going to be aggressive.
09:20He's got seven hits in the fall classic already, and they're all singles.
09:26Now Bowers.
09:28Lifted in the air the other way.
09:29Simpson goes back.
09:31Edge of the track.
09:32He's got it.
09:32Avoids the wall this time.
09:34Back to first goes Churio.
09:35Two gone.
09:36Two guys, Warman.
09:37Wells and loser.
09:39Yellenhaj has two hits, and he's seen two pitches.
09:41There goes Churio.
09:43Throw from Fortes.
09:45Offline.
09:45Did he say on the bag?
09:47He did some glue on that oven mitt.
09:49Payoff.
09:51Ball four.
09:52And now I've got to deal with Contreras.
09:55Has Kevin Cash left Peralt to do it?
09:57Would as well has come in for him?
09:58He's one for two today.
09:59The long hit was a blue pit that brought it around in the third.
10:03Contreras with two away.
10:05Chops one left side.
10:06Caminero steps and throws the second.
10:08They say it's in time.
10:09I'm not sure, though.
10:11Dan Bolino says that he's out, and he'll go to the replay room.
10:14They're going to challenge.
10:16They've got to see with his lead leg if it pops up in the air and doesn't get to that
10:19bag.
10:20And the Brewers fans who have made the trip down here, howling.
10:24After the review, the ruling on the field is overturned.
10:26The runner is safe.
10:27Milwaukee retains his turn.
10:30And with that, here comes Kevin Cash to go to the bullpen.
10:33Bases loaded for Milwaukee.
10:35Cam Boozer coming in.
10:36All right.
10:37Cam Boozer right here with Milwaukee trying to put this game on ice early.
10:41Their top left-hander by far.
10:43Bryce Durang, the batter, with the bases loaded.
10:45This is what you call a tough situation, but this is the game right here.
10:49And Kevin Cash knows he cannot afford to get much farther behind.
10:54Line drive towards short.
10:56Off the glove of Walls.
10:57It trickles into shallow center field.
10:59One run in.
11:01Here comes Yelich.
11:02He'll score.
11:04Bryce Durang hits one.
11:06And off the diving shortstop's glove for a two-run single.
11:10And that doubles the lead.
11:12It's 4-0 Milwaukee in the fifth inning.
11:14Their manager, Pat Murphy, was asked,
11:17how do you describe your team in a word?
11:19Earlier this series, he said relentless.
11:21And their at-bats, and their defense, and their pitching has done all of that.
11:24Here's Garrett Mitchell.
11:35If you don't think this team is confident in the ability to put the ball in play,
11:41the ability to put pressure on the bases, put it on the infielders,
11:45every facet of playoff baseball has been played to perfection for the Milwaukee Brewers thus far.
11:54First and second, two out for Pratt.
11:56Swing and a ground ball towards third.
11:58That is fair.
11:59And over the bag and down into the left field corner.
12:02And the merry-go-round spin in for Milwaukee.
12:06Two-go-one score.
12:07And a Brewer barrage in the fifth inning of game three.
12:12Seven-nothing Brewers.
12:14They've scored five two-out runs in the fifth.
12:17The Rays, when they put it in play on the first pitch,
12:20it seems like it's always an out.
12:22When the Brewers do, it seems like it's always a hit.
12:25You give this Brewers offense an inch, they take five miles.
12:30Towards the left field corner.
12:32That is six consecutive two-out base runners for the Brew crew.
12:36They just will not be denied.
12:39You'd have to see this to believe it, Brewers fans.
12:42They lead at eight-nothing.
12:45Six.
12:46Six, two-out runs in the top half of the fifth.
12:49Sal Freeland gets into the act.
12:51Opposite field against Boozer.
12:53That is it for Cam Boozer.
12:55Then almost as quickly as Boozer entered with his team trailing two-nothing,
13:01he exits in an eight-nothing Milwaukee lead after an avalanche.
13:07Third pitcher of the inning is Cole Solcer.
13:09Comes on to try to get this elusive final out of the inning.
13:11And that is David Hamilton.
13:13Six runs are home, and the Brewers are blowing the race out.
13:15Sometimes he got a two-trick out.
13:17Cam Boozer had allowed one hit in the postseason.
13:20He had not allowed four hits in a game this year.
13:23He gives up four hits to all four batters he faces.
13:26Solcer is 1-1.
13:28Hamilton has a base hit of his own into center field.
13:32And it just keeps on rolling.
13:34Freelichsen to score a seventh two-out tally.
13:37The Brewers have a nine-nothing fifth inning lead in game three of the World Series.
13:44David Hamilton gets into the act.
13:46That is now six straight hits.
13:50And now Churio for his second time in the inning.
13:522-2 to Churio.
13:54Lifted the other way.
13:55Mises on the move towards the gap.
13:57Incredible.
13:58All the way from first comes David Hamilton.
14:01Double digits in game three.
14:04Eight two-out runs in the fifth.
14:06The seventh consecutive two-out hit.
14:09And Churio is four for four here tonight in five innings.
14:14That's his first extra base hit in the fall classic.
14:17Josh, we're in the fifth inning.
14:19And there are Rays fans heading for the exits.
14:22El Verezolano Jackson Churio.
14:24Que sigue encendido.
14:27Doble el batazo.
14:29Y trae la décima para los R-ceros.
14:32It drives in the eighth run.
14:34Bowers retired and the inning comes to a close.
14:38But the Brewers score eight times another one-two-three inning.
14:43Bobby Petrol rolling along in game three of the fall classic.
14:47He's retired 14 consecutive batters.
14:50What a fifth.
14:51One we'll remember for a long time.
14:53It's 10-0 Milwaukee.
14:54Milwaukee 16 base runners to one.
14:58You told us before game one, going to be a battle of who can get the most guys on, create
15:02havoc, and it's not close.
15:04And it's chopped third base side.
15:06Common arrow charging, fielding, throwing in one motion.
15:08High, and it gets out of play.
15:11Contreras will be awarded second base.
15:14Will be an infield single for William Contreras.
15:17He has a three-hit night.
15:19A relentless attack on offense by the Brewers.
15:23It's been that way all night long.
15:25Tapper left side.
15:26And today he's going to have an infield hit.
15:28After he started that big rally last year with a two-out single.
15:33And they've got him cornered with one away.
15:34Garrett Mitchell, he has walked, struck out, singled, and driven in a run.
15:40Awful challenge here, and I think this is going to get this one right to make this a strikeout.
15:45Fortes gets the overturned call, and two gone here in the six.
15:48Cooper prats the batter.
15:50He broke the game open with a two-run double in the fifth inning.
15:52Part of that seven straight hits barrage.
15:58Pratt pounces one into the turf.
16:00Williamson has it.
16:01And that's the inning.
16:02To the bottom of the six we go.
16:04All Milwaukee in game three.
16:06Brewers are doing their best impression of game one in 82 when they beat the Cardinals 10-0.
16:12Robert Gasser staying in, facing Victor Mesa Jr.
16:14On the verge of becoming the first Brewer to get an out in the sixth inning in the postseason.
16:19Mesa takes the lead off-wise.
16:21And you can't worry about what has happened.
16:23You've just got to continue to play the game the right way.
16:26Ground ball, second base, double play ball.
16:28Terrain goes to Pratt.
16:29That's one.
16:29On to first.
16:30Yes!
16:31Double play.
16:32Lightning quick turn by Pratt at second base, says the pivot man.
16:36And they got Fortes.
16:38And the number nine hitter, Taylor Walls, is the hitter.
16:42Gasser has faced the Rays in order through five and two-thirds.
16:47Trying to be the first Brewer starter to get through six innings this postseason.
16:52He's an out away from doing it.
16:54Ground ball on two hops out to Terrain at second.
16:57He's got it.
16:57Throws to first.
16:58And it's six scoreless innings from Robert Gasser in game three of the World Series.
17:04Top of the order.
17:05Antonio Senzatella takes over his first outing since the Division Series.
17:10Down to Diaz as the only hit of this game for Tampa Bay.
17:13First batter of the game.
17:14And it was like, okay, here they go.
17:15He's the guy they were trying to get going.
17:17Don't have a hit since.
17:19Hit in the air to right.
17:21Charging in is Freelich.
17:22He's there at plenty of time to reach up in fair territory and make the catch for the first out
17:26of this seventh inning.
17:27And that'll get Ryan Valade to the plate.
17:29And instead of Valade, it'll be Jonathan Aranda who is going to pinch hit here.
17:34Pop up.
17:36He's the one for Ortiz.
17:37Stayed in at the pinch hit in.
17:39Two-way.
17:39Whatever they've got left, they've got to get some momentum offensively.
17:43Get some hits.
17:44Feel something going into tomorrow.
17:47They can't finish this game with one hit.
17:48That's basically what I'm saying.
17:50Simpson ground ball to first base.
17:52Gobbled up by Bauer.
17:53He'll run to the bag himself.
17:55And beat Simpson there.
17:56It's a one-two-three inning for Antonio Senzatella here in the bottom of the seventh.
18:02Tyler Wells will pitch the eighth after Garrett Clevenger did have a one-two-three-seventh.
18:06We really don't know what's going to happen.
18:07And that's what makes sports as good as it is.
18:09And you don't know what the result is going to be.
18:12But right now, boy, oh, boy, it would be the greatest comeback in World Series history
18:16if the Rays were to win this thing.
18:17Jake Bowers is the hitter.
18:20Fly ball left field.
18:22Back at first.
18:23Simpson now comes on to put it away.
18:25Bowers is 0 for 4.
18:27He's the only Brewer position player to not have a hit tonight.
18:30Here's Andrew Vaughn hitting for Yelich.
18:34Somehow gets to that ball.
18:35Hit the ring.
18:36Come on.
18:38Nope.
18:39Instead, it's caught by Simpson.
18:40And it's at number two.
18:41Contreras, three for four tonight.
18:43He's driven in a run.
18:45Well, he strikes him out.
18:47Middle to the eighth.
18:48Pitching staff, notably Robert Gasser and company, have retired the Rays in order.
18:55They've had two base runners in the game.
18:57This Caminero hits one into shallow left center for Garrett Mitchell.
19:01Moseys over and makes the catch.
19:03But since given up four runs in yesterday's game, they've outscored the Rays 15 to nothing, and they have shut
19:09them down.
19:11Flip down the line.
19:12On comes Freelich.
19:14Sal Freelich sprawling catch.
19:18Sal Freelich is doing it all.
19:22What a catch.
19:24Flying in from right field.
19:26A full Superman dive, and he made the play.
19:29Hope he's okay.
19:32Able to crack a smile.
19:34And I think Sal Freelich got some of the coconut shells from the turf in his eye.
19:41I'm good.
19:43I'm Sal Freelich.
19:44I mean, that's the type of play.
19:47Those are the types of effort plays, no matter what, in a 10-0 game, a 1-0 game, that
19:54you get out of this Brewers team.
19:56There's a strike three.
19:58It's a clean eighth inning for Sensatella.
20:00The Brewers pitching staff has retired the Rays in order through eight.
20:04Bryce Terang, the lead it off against Mavs.
20:06Brewers on the verge, becoming the second team since 1951 to win the first three games of the World Series,
20:13despite hitting zero or one home run.
20:160-7 Red Sox, the only other example.
