Rookie Cooper Pratt drove in two runs and Jacob Misiorowski tossed 5⅔ scoreless innings to ⁠help the Milwaukee Brewers capture their first World Series title with a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.

The Brewers, who dispatched the Rays in five games, won 11 of their 13 postseason games.

Pratt followed up his four-hit performance in Game 4 on Tuesday with an RBI single ​in the second inning and a base hit in the fifth. His six ‌consecutive hits set ‌a World Series record for a rookie, eclipsing the mark set ​by the New York Yankees’ Brian Doyle in 1978.
