It was on this day in 2012 that Pablo Sandoval kicked off the World Series by going 4-for-4 with three home runs in the Giants’ 8-3 victory over the Tigers in Game 1. Sandoval joined Albert Pujols, Reggie Jackson, and Babe Ruth (twice) as the only players to deliver a three-homer performance in a WS game, and the Panda went won to win Series MVP honors after San Francisco swept Detroit to win the title.
1. Brewers strike first in Game 1
Milwaukee’s first World Series game since 1982 was a success, as the Brewers recorded a narrow 3-2 victory over the Rays in Game 1 on Friday. The first inning saw the home side jump out to a 2-0 lead on an RBI triple from Christian Yelich and an RBI single from William Contreras, and Jackson Chourio delivered an RBI single in the seventh for what ended up being the game-winning run. Jacob Misiorowski (5 IP, 1 ER, four hits, 1 BB, 3 K) earned the win, and Abner Uribe and Aaron Ashby combined for three innings of shutout relief as the bridge to closer Trevor Megill.
2. Rays finish just short after dramatic ninth inning
Down 3-1 with one out in the ninth, Tampa Bay loaded the bases on two singles and a walk against Megill, but Liam Hicks then grounded into what seemed like a game-ending 4-6-3 double play. The Rays challenged the call at second, however, and replays revealed that Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt didn’t have his foot on the bag while taking the throw. The double play became an RBI groundout for Hicks and the Rays had new life with two men in scoring position and an out remaining. However, Megill recovered nicely from the false finish and struck out Jonny DeLuca to finally seal Milwaukee’s win.
3. Game 2 tonight at 7pm CT
The Rays will try to even the Series behind ace Drew Rasmussen, who has a superb 1.29 ERA over three starts and 29 innings thus far in October. Milwaukee’s Game 2 start is rookie Logan Henderson, whose solid 3.00 ERA over nine innings in two playoff starts is somewhat undermined by a lack of control, as Henderson has issued five walks over those nine frames. While not exactly a must-win game for Tampa Bay, only 10 teams have ever come back from an 0-2 deficit to win the World Series. A victory today would also tilt the homefield advantage in the Rays’ favor, as Games 3, 4, and 5 are set for Tropicana Field.
