Brewers announce Game 1 lineup with Turang in fifth spot
Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers unveiled their lineup for Game 1 of the World Series on October 23, 2026, with Brice Turang hitting fifth. Manager Pat Murphy is altering the traditional batting order, moving Turang down despite his strong recent performance in the postseason. Jake Bauers, the NLCS MVP, will bat second, while Christian Yelich hits third after struggling earlier in the playoffs. The Brewers face the Tampa Bay Rays, who are likely to start four right-handed pitchers, influencing Murphy's lineup decisions. The game is currently underway as both teams compete for an early advantage in the series.
