What happened: On The Dan Le Batard Show, guest David Samson and Jeremy Tache broke down Milwaukee's 10-1 win over Tampa Bay, which put the Brewers up 3-0 in the World Series. The Brewers scored eight runs in the fifth inning, all with two outs, on a string of singles and doubles that began with a line out and a fly out.

Why it matters: The hosts pointed to Christian Yelich's hustle as the play that opened the inning: he broke from first to slide into second ahead of Junior Caminero's throw on a William Contreras grounder, and the show said that kept the inning alive. Samson said the Brewers play full speed whether they lead or trail by 10, and he cited a diving catch in the ninth with Milwaukee up 10-0.

By the numbers: On the show, Tache cited Jackson Chourio's four-for-four night and his 20 postseason RBI, the most before age 23. Per the show, Chourio reached that total in 23 games, while Andruw Jones had 17 in 45 games. The hosts also said Freddy Peralta's early start was helped by Chandler Simpson's catch into the left-field foul wall, which got no highlight time once the fifth inning ran long.

What to watch: Milwaukee can clinch the franchise's first World Series title with a win in the next game.
