The World Series shifts to Tampa Bay for Game 3, marking the first time the Fall Classic has been played at Tropicana Field since 2008. The Rays, trailing the series 2-0 after two close losses in Milwaukee, host the Brewers on Monday with a desperate need for a win to stay alive. This matchup holds historical weight, echoing the 2008 series where the Rays fell to the Phillies, and contrasts with the 2020 edition, which was entirely neutralized in Arlington due to pandemic protocols.
Freddy Peralta faces old team as World Series returns to Tropicana Field
Tampa Bay turns to Freddy Peralta, who just delivered a dominant MVP performance in the ALCS, to face the team that drafted him. The pressure is immense for the right-hander, who must navigate a familiar lineup to prevent a sweep. Milwaukee counters with left-handed starter Robert Gasser, who has been remarkably effective in the postseason, allowing only a solo home run from Fernando Tatis Jr. in his recent starts.
Fans can tune in to the action on the national broadcast network, with the game scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM ET. Streaming options are available through the network’s digital platform and major sports streaming services, ensuring global access to this pivotal contest. As the series heads to the Trop, the Rays must capitalize on home-field advantage to force a Game 4 in Milwaukee.
