Fastest pitch in World Series history as Brewers win opener
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in the opening game of the best-of-seven World Series as both sides aim for their first title. The Milwaukee Brewers won the first match of the 122nd World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2, marking only the second time in over a century that neither team has won the title before. Starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, who led Major League Baseball with 252 strikeouts in the regular season, threw the fastest recorded pitch in World Series history, breaking the previous record of 103.2 mph set by Aroldis Chapman of the Chicago Cubs in 2016. The victory was watched by a sell-out crowd of 43,250 at Milwaukee's American Family Field, with standing-room-only tickets available for the game. The Brewers will host the second match of this best-of-seven series before moving to Florida for three games, then return to Milwaukee for the final two matches.
