Here are the key numbers.

Milwaukee stood one win from a title. Instead, Tampa Bay ground out a 4-3 victory in 12 innings at Tropicana Field, the franchise's first World Series win and the reason this series is still breathing at 3-1.

The Rays had been outscored badly across three straight defeats, including a 10-1 hammering the night before. This time it was the small stuff: a bullpen that refused to crack, contact when it counted, and fewer mistakes than a Brewers side suddenly feeling the pressure.

Milwaukee still needs one win from a possible three, but the 12-inning defeat burns arms and momentum. Game 5 now carries a different weight: a chance to close, or a chance for Tampa Bay to make this a genuine fight.
