Junior CamineroDominican baseball player (born 2003) reached on Joey Ortiz’s throwing error before consecutive singles scored the tying and winning runs. Milwaukee had won the first three games and was one win from its first World Series title. Pinch-hitter Ben Williamson, who was 1 for 15 this postseason, delivered the walk-off single. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said he kept Jacob Misiorowski out because he was scheduled to start next. Milwaukee leads 3-1, with Game 5 set for Wednesday night in St. Petersburg.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets framed the Rays’ escape as a season-saving reversal that denied Milwaukee a championship sweep. CNN highlighted Tampa Bay giving Milwaukee “a dose of their own medicine” while noting no 0-3 World Series team has come back to win.
How the right told it
Right-leaning outlets framed the game as a defiant reprieve from an apparent Brewers coronation, while sharpening focus on Milwaukee’s late-game pitching choice. Fox News described Tampa Bay’s two-run 13th-inning walk-off as reason to hope, questioned leaving an elite starter unused with the title close, and noted Milwaukee still had baseball’s best pitcher positioned for Game 5.
