The Milwaukee Brewers have had a few days off to enjoy the American League Championship Series, but now it's go-time.

The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians in a wild six-game series, and now the World Series will officially feature two teams that have never won it.

This is the Rays' third appearance in the World Series, while it'll be the second for the Brewers.

Keep in mind, Tampa Bay made the World Series in 2020, so that was a modified season and that appearance doesn't mean nearly as much as some others.

In the end, the Rays came back home to Tropicana Field and put together a strong 7-3 victory, one that had highs and lows, to say the least.

Freddy Peralta, the former Brewers ace, had a struggle or two, but other than allowing a run in the sixth inning, he was nearly perfect.

Sure, Peralta allowed a trio of walks, but he has now allowed just one earned run in his last two starts.

Peralta is 2-0 in the postseason, and he even made a relief appearance on Saturday, Oct. 17. If there was ever a time for him to face his former team, it's now, and fellow former Brewers pitcher Drew Rasmussen is also ready to go against his former club.

The Rays had a comfortable 5-1 lead going into the bottom of the eighth thanks to a Junior Caminero home run off the left-field foul pole, but things got interesting late in this one.

Ian Seymour had his name called, but it turned out to be one of the worst relief appearances of the entire postseason. 

Seymour issued back-to-back walks to go along with a wild pitch, and suddenly the Rays only led 5-3.

Thankfully for the Rays, Kevin Kelly picked up his fourth hold in just three pitches, leaving the bases stranded with two outs.

A player like Chandler Simpson is never going to overwhelm a team with his power, but that's what Caminero and Yandy Diaz are there for right now.

Diaz quickly erased the two runs Seymour gave up with a massive ninth-inning blast, quickly proving why the Brewers have a lot to be worried about with this lineup.

Milwaukee's pitching staff will have a full week off, and now they can solely focus on preparing for these Rays hitters in the final three days before Game 1 on Friday, Oct. 23.
