The Milwaukee Brewers have made their plans known when they go to the Tropicana Dome for Game 3 of the World Series. They are going to give the starting assignment to left-handed pitcher Robert Gasser when the series moves to the home of the American League champions.
The Brewers hope to have a 2-0 lead in the World Series at that point. They were victorious in Game 1, picking up a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in the opener at American Family Field in Milwaukee. The Rays rallied for a run in the top of the ninth inning in the series opener and had two runners on base with two outs, but Trevor Megill struck out Jonny DeLuca to end the game and give the Brewers the victory.
The two teams will play Game 2 Saturday night in Milwaukee. The Brewers will send Logan Henderson to the mound as Milwaukee attempts to take a 2-0 lead in the series. The Rays will give staff ace Drew Rasmussen the starting assignment as they attempt to square the World Series before the change of venues.

The Rays will send former Brewers hurler Freddy Peralta to the mound for the Game 3 start.
The Brewers earned their spot in the World Series by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. That victory has given Milwaukee maximum confidence as they attempt to secure their first World Series title.
The Rays are also attempting to win their first World Series title. The Rays swept the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series before beating the Cleveland Guardians in 5 games in the ALCS.
