Brewers Rout Rays 10-1 in World Series Game 3 as Gasser Goes Six Scoreless and Chourio Gets Four Hits

Eight of the nine Brewers starters drove in a run. Brice Turang and Cooper Pratt each had two RBIs, and Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, David Hamilton and Jackson Chourio drove in one apiece. Freddy Peralta, the Rays starter, was charged with five runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, WISN reported. Reliever Cam Booser faced four batters without recording an out, and the Brewers finished with 16 hits.

What did Robert Gasser do for Milwaukee?

Gasser, the rookie left-hander, allowed one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings, striking out three on 75 pitches. The hit was a leadoff single by Yandy Díaz in the first inning, and Gasser retired 14 in a row after it, WISN said. He is the ninth pitcher to throw six scoreless World Series innings while allowing one hit or none, MLB.com notes, and the first since Cristian Javier in 2022. Across three starts this October, all on the road, he has given up one run in 15 innings.

Who was the star at the plate?

Chourio went 4 for 5 with a stolen base. At 22 years and 229 days he became the second-youngest player to collect four hits and a steal in a World Series game, behind only Ty Cobb in 1908. It was his ninth multi-hit postseason game, tying Andruw Jones for the most before turning 23. Contreras added three hits.

Can the Rays still come back from 3-0?

History says almost not. Only one team, the 2004 Red Sox, has ever overturned a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series, and no World Series team has even reached a Game 6 after falling behind that far, MLB.com says. The Rays also arrived having been held to a 5-4 loss after leading 4-0 in the first inning of Game 2, a game we covered in our Game 2 report.

Milwaukee, which won a major-league-best 103 games in the regular season, needs one more victory. Tampa Bay needs four in a row, starting with Game 4.
