ST. PETERSBURG, FL – The stage has shifted. But will the vibes – and the outcome – remain the same for the Milwaukee Brewers?
After two stirring home victories to start the 2026 World Series, the Brewers are in less-welcoming surroundings for Game 3 of the best-of-seven Series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night, Oct. 26.
And while Tropicana Field is unfamiliar to many Brewers, they'll face a familiar starting pitcher in Freddy Peralta.
Having a dynamite postseason, Peralta spent his first eight seasons with Milwaukee before being traded to the New York Mets this year, then being sent to the Rays at the trade deadline.
The Brewers are starting rookie left-hander Robert Gasser, who's also been terrific in the playoffs.
I'll be providing live coverage before, during and after the game. You can follow along here for the latest updates:

Former Rays manager Joe Maddon to throw first pitch
05:37 PM ET, October 26 2026Joe Maddon, a longtime Rays manager who led the team to its first American League championship in 2008, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 3.
Maddon, 72, was the Rays' manager during the 2008 World Series, which they lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in five games. The Rays' only victory during that series, a 4-2 win in Game 2, is the most recent World Series game played at Tropicana Field.
Country singer Carly Pearce will sing the national anthem.
