ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) --- Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang sparked
Milwaukee's eight-run fifth inning, and the Brewers routed the Tampa Bay Rays
10-1 on Monday night to move within one victory of their first World Series
title.
Rookie left-hander Robert Gasser pitched one-hit ball and faced the minimum
through six innings as Milwaukee rolled to a 3-0 lead in the Series. Game 4 is
Tuesday night at Tropicana Field, where many Brewers fans showed up Monday and
cheered from behind the visitors' dugout.
Gasser allowed a line-drive single to Yandy Daz leading off the bottom of the
first and then retired 14 straight before Victor Mesa Jr. walked to start Tampa
Bay's sixth. Gasser became the first left-hander to face the minimum 18 batters
through six innings of a World Series game since Sandy Koufax did it for the
Dodgers in 1965.
Chourio went 4 for 5, William Contreras was 3 for 5 and Milwaukee racked up 16
hits off "Fastball Freddy" Peralta and five relievers to win its eighth
straight postseason game and fourth in a row on the road.
