It was the Brewers' first appearance in the Fall Classic in 44 years and first championship since the franchise was founded in 1969.
Rookie Cooper Pratt drove in two runs and Jacob Misiorowski tossed 5⅔ scoreless innings to help the Milwaukee Brewers capture their first World Series title with a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. The Brewers, who dispatched the Rays in five games, won 11 of their 13 postseason games. Pratt followed up his four-hit performance in Game 4 on Tuesday with an RBI single in the second inning and a base hit in the fifth.
His six consecutive hits set a World Series record for a rookie, eclipsing the mark set by the New York Yankees’ Brian Doyle in 1978.
