The Brewers haven’t lost in three weeks. They can set the record for longest playoff winning streak with a win tonight.
1. Brewers crush Rays in Game 3
Tampa Bay was so close to getting out of that fifth inning. Christian Yélich was initially ruled out second on a defensive player’s choice. Replay overturned the call and the floodgates opened. Six straight hits put the Brewers up 10-0. Robert Gasser made it through six innings in another terrific postseason start. Brandon Woodruffmaking his first appearance since early July, recorded the final three outs. Milwaukee will have four shots to clinch the title. Given how the series is going, it may only take one.
2. Rays facing elimination
Right-handed Freddy Peralta had allowed a total of five earned runs in its last 10 appearances before Monday’s start. He was charged with five earned runs last night. Peralta wasn’t particularly sharp, walking three and allowing seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. He left with the bases loaded and all those runners came to score. The Rays will turn towards Griffin Jax to save their season tonight. Jax suffered the loss in Game 3 of the ALCS against the Guardians. He allowed four earned runs in six innings in the postseason.
3. Lindor wins the Roberto Clemente Award
Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was selected Monday as the 2026 recipient of the Roberto Clemente Award. This honor recognizes the philanthropic efforts of a player each season. Lindor has several charitable initiatives, including financial support for disaster relief in Puerto Rico and a partnership with New Balance to provide school supplies to students. “Sometimes we athletes can seem so far removed from the general public.“, Lindor told reporters, including Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. “But we are not. We are in the communities. We give back. We help. I hope this gives me a bigger platform to continue helping.”
