The Brewers offense was relentless at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, scoring a run in the second, one in the fifth and two in the sixth, while National League Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski threw 5-2/3 shutout innings.
It was the Brewers’ first appearance in the Fall Classic in 44 years and first championship since the franchise was founded in 1969.
“I know the city has waited a long, long time for this and we’re so happy to bring it back to them,” said Christian Yelich, who joined the Brewers in 2018.
“I can’t wait to get back there and celebrate.”
Catcher William Contreras, who had eight hits and four RBIs over the five games, was named World Series MVP.
After winning 103 game in the regular season to lock up the National League Central division, the Brewers beat the San Diego Padres in the NL Division Series and swept the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series to reach the World Series.
It was only the second World Series appearance for the Brewers — losing to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982.
