November 6, 2029: World Series Game 5

Of course it ends this way...



Not sure there's ever been a World Series where every game was decided by 1 run but that's what we had here as it was Groundhog Day for the Rays, losing again by a single tally. They had a chance to tie in the 9th with men on 1st and 3rd and 1 out after Ethan Holliday beat out an infield single but Mason Auer struck out and Fernando Tatis Jr flied to left to end it. And as they have in every game the Rays took an early lead on a 2-run Tommy Saggese single in the 1st but that was all Corbin Burnes would give them until Bobby Marsh homered in the 8th on Burnes' absurd 138th pitch of the game (he'd throw 144, not sure what got into the AI). Dishonorable mention to former Brewer farmhand Jackson Chourio, who went 0-for-the-series in 20 at-bats and was dropped to 7th in the lineup today, the first time all season he hadn't appeared in his customary leadoff spot. So it's another year without a ring for the Rays in this save and they'll go back to the drawing board in 2030.
