Sioux Falls, SD, October 28, 2026 —
The Tampa Bay Rays scored twice in the 12th inning to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers, according to the available account, forcing a Game 5 in the World Series. The game was played in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The late rally was the defining development reported. The account describes the result as a surprise for Milwaukee, but does not provide the final score or explain how the two runs were scored. It also does not identify the players involved or detail the events leading up to the extra inning.
The outcome keeps the World Series from ending before a fifth game. No date, start time or location for that game was provided, and the account does not say how either team responded after the 12th-inning finish.
Other details about the contest are not available in the summary, including attendance, pitching decisions and the broader series results. Without those details, the reported facts establish the late Tampa Bay rally and its consequence: a Game 5 is required. Further description of the game or its participants cannot be confirmed from the information provided.
