Did the Brewers Win Last Night? Final Score, Key Highlights & What It Means for the Season

Milwaukee Brewers fall 4-3 in 12-inning thriller, Rays force Game 5 If you woke up asking “Did the Brewers win last night?”, here’s the quick answer: no. The Milwaukee Brewers dropped World Series Game 4 to the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3, in a heart-stopping 12-inning battle at Tropicana Field. How it happened 1. Pitching duel early: Milwaukee’s Dustin May and Tampa Bay’s Griffin Jax traded zeroes through three innings before Chandler Simpson’s RBI double put the Rays up 1-0 in the second. 2. Back-and-forth middle frames: Rookie Cooper Pratt doubled home the tying run in the fourth, and David Hamilton cracked a solo homer in the fifth to knot things 2-2. 3. Bullpens shine: Aaron Ashby set a postseason record with his sixth straight scoreless multi-out relief outing, pushing the game to extras. 4. Brewers take late lead: Pratt delivered again with a go-ahead homer in the 12th, his second blast of the Series. 5. Rays walk it off: Jonny DeLuca’s RBI single tied it, and Ben Williamson followed with a bases-loaded single off Shane Drohan to keep Tampa Bay alive. Series snapshot • Series standing: Brewers still lead 3-1 but miss a chance at their first championship. • Game 5 preview: The clubs meet again Wednesday night in St. Petersburg. Milwaukee is expected to start ace Freddy Peralta against Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs. • Key stat: Jackson Chourio’s 10 hits tie Babe Ruth (1928) for most hits through the first four games of a World Series, underscoring Milwaukee’s offensive firepower even in defeat. Why it matters for Brewers fans The loss stings, but history remains on Milwaukee’s side: teams up 3-1 have gone on to win the World Series 84% of the time. Still, avoiding a return trip to American Family Field for a Game 6 starts with closing it out tonight. Look for manager Pat Murphy to lean heavily on Peralta and a rested back end of the bullpen. Search takeaway So, did the Brewers win last night? They came agonizingly close, but a 12th-inning walk-off by Tampa Bay means the champagne stays on ice—at least for another 24 hours.
