Brewers one win away from title after 5th-inning rally (1:14)

The Milwaukee Brewers will start Dustin May in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night as they look to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays for the franchise's first championship.

By starting May, who pitched a scoreless inning in the Brewers' 5-4 victory in Game 2, Milwaukee will be going with a bullpen game plan.

May was 7-9 with a 4.70 ERA and 144 strikeouts during the regular season. In four postseason appearances, including one start, he has a 5.63 ERA over eight innings.

Right-hander Griffin Jax is scheduled to start for the Rays. He last pitched in the American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Guardians on Oct. 15.

The Brewers will seek to join the 1976 Cincinnati Reds of "Big Red Machine" fame as the only teams to sweep both the LCS and the World Series. Milwaukee would become first to do it since the LCS went to a best-of-seven format in 1985.
