Brewers survive ninth-inning scare to beat Rays in World Series opener

The Milwaukee Brewers escaped a late comeback attempt to defeat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night. Trevor Megill secured the save by striking out Jonny DeLuca with the tying and winning runs in scoring position. The victory was clinched only after an initial game-ending double play was overturned on replay when shortstop Cooper Pratt missed the bag.

Jacob Misiorowski earned the win for Milwaukee after conceding one run over five innings, highlighted by throwing a record 103.5 mph fastball. Christian Yelich sparked the Brewers' offense with an early RBI triple in the first inning, and Jackson Chourio added a key insurance run in the seventh. Nick Martinez took the loss for Tampa Bay after giving up two runs in five innings.
