Rays put on the brink of World Series flop by Brewers' historic 8-run, 2-out inning

Taylor Walls stabbed at Brice Turang's sharp grounder and felt it glance off his glove.

"Knife in the chest," the Tampa Bay Rays shortstop said.

Tampa Bay's first World Series game at Tropicana Field in 18 years turned into a record-setter for Brewers batters.

Milwaukee became the first team to score eight runs with two outs in a World Series inning, routing the Rays 10-1 on Monday night to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Turang's two-run single was the second of a postseason-record seven straight two-out hits against starter Freddy Peralta and relievers Cam Booser and Cole Sulser.

Milwaukee turned a 2-0 lead into a 7-0 advantage with hits on three straight pitches by Turang, Garrett Mitchell and Cooper Pratt. The Brewers went on to score eight runs in a 17-pitch span to open a 10-run advantage. Jackson Chourio had a single and a double in the inning, part of his four-hit night.

"Worst feeling in the world, feeling like you let your team down," a downcast Booser said in the quiet Tampa Bay clubhouse.

Among 25 previous teams that fell behind 3-0 in a World Series, 21 were swept and four lost in five games. Of 43 teams to trail 3-0 in any best-of-seven postseason matchup, only the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series rebounded to win.

Coming off a pair of one-run wins at American Family Field, the Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the third when Christian Yelich and William
