Sports: The Brewers Are World Series Champions for the First Time in Franchise History

Milwaukee finally got its ring. The Brewers beat the Rays 4-1 in Game 5 at Tropicana Field on Wednesday night to win the World Series four games to one, per MLB's official box score, giving the franchise its first championship ever.

Jacob Misiorowski set the tone. MLB.com reports the flamethrower held Tampa Bay to two hits over 5 2/3 scoreless innings, sitting around 101 mph with his fastball, before he left in the sixth with what was described as leg discomfort. Brewers fans who made the trip reportedly gave him a loud send-off.

Cooper Pratt drove in two runs with an RBI single in the second and a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Along the way the rookie set a World Series rookie record with hits in six straight plate appearances, per MLB.com. David Hamilton added an RBI single in the fifth and William Contreras an RBI double in the sixth. Tampa Bay's lone run reportedly didn't come until late, and Milwaukee closed it out from there.

It's a full-circle moment after Tampa Bay stole Game 4 with a walk-off in the 12th inning on Tuesday. CBS Sports noted Milwaukee had been chasing the first title in team history, and the Brewers got it done on the road.
