What happened: The Milwaukee Brewers fell after standing three outs from the World Series championship, per Bob Nightengale. That outcome follows the Toronto Blue Jays losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers from the same three-out threshold in a deciding Game 7 last season.

Why it matters: Unlike the Blue Jays' 2025 World Series run, which ended in a seventh game, Milwaukee's setback did not end its postseason. The Milwaukee Brewers lead the series 3-1 and retain three more chances in the matchup.

What to watch: First pitch for the next game is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 8:00 PM ET.
