The Milwaukee Brewers win the first World Series title in franchise history

The Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series title in franchise history, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in five games on Wednesday. Catcher William Contreras was named World Series MVP, while the Brewers' offense, led by rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt and ace pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, dominated throughout the series. This victory for baseball's smallest media market and 19th-biggest payroll will likely fuel discussions in upcoming labor negotiations.
