Tampa Bay Rays secure extra innings win in World Series Game 4

The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in extra innings during Game 4 of the World Series on October 27, 2026, thanks to a walk-off RBI single by Ben Williamson in the 12th inning. This marked a significant moment for the Rays as they staved off elimination, with preliminary television viewership peaking at around 13.5 million across various networks. The game showcased favorable ratings not seen in other recent World Series events, particularly due to the matchup of lower-payroll teams. Final viewership numbers from Nielsen are expected to be released soon, adding further context to the game's performance, especially when compared to Game 3’s lower viewership due to concurrent major sports events.
