The Tampa Bay Rays stared down the barrel of a World Series sweep last night and absolutely refused to blink. With a clutch 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4, the Rays are finally on the board, pushing this series to a Game 5! If anyone thought this thing was over, Tampa Bay just screamed “not so fast!”
Game 4 Was a Straight-Up Thriller
Man, what a game! This wasn’t some blowout, no sir. This was a nail-biter that went all the way to extra innings. The Rays were down and tied it up 2-2, then it went even deeper. In the bottom of the 12th, Jonny DeLuca, the Rays’ right fielder, stepped up and tied it again at 3-3 with an absolute monster hit. It was pure drama! And let’s not forget, DeLuca also hit an RBI single back in the fourth inning that was critical. Junior Caminero scored earlier in the fourth, getting home just as Brewers catcher William Contreras waited for the throw. Every single run mattered, and the Rays just kept fighting until they came out on top, 4-3. This team just wasn’t ready to pack it in.
Series Stands 3-1 as World Series Mania Continues
So, the Brewers still lead the series 3-1, but the Rays have some life, some real momentum heading into Game 5. That critical next game is set for Wednesday, October 28, back at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, with an 8 p.m. ET start time. If you’re thinking of catching the action, tickets for Game 5 start at a hefty $728, so you know the demand is through the roof.
Now, if the Rays can pull off another miracle and extend this series past five games, it’ll flip back to Milwaukee’s American Family Field. And let me tell you, tickets for Brewers home World Series games have been “off the charts.” We’re talking prices starting close to $2,500 if you want to get in, with standing room only for Game 6 at $2,446 and Game 7 at $2,278. Definitely cheaper to try and grab a seat at the Trop if you want to see this thing play out live!
Can the Rays keep this World Series alive? Or will the Brewers regroup and close it out on the road? Game 5 is Wednesday night, and it’s going to be absolutely wild.
