POLICY WIRE — St. Petersburg, USA — The Tampa Bay Rays kept their championship hopes alive on Tuesday night, mounting a dramatic 12th-inning comeback to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 and force a Game 5 in the World Series.
The contest remained a nail-biter until the final moments, as the Brewers took a brief lead in the top of the 12th when Cooper Pratt launched a solo home run off Ian Seymour.
