Rays vs. Brewers MLB World Series Game 1 Live Updates, Results, Highlights and Reaction

Rays hitters showed a good approach, including on back-to-back singles by Jonathan Aranda and Chandler Simpson. Neither was hit hard, but hitting can be a lot like real estate: location, location, location.

Junior Caminero only hit his ball at 75.6 mph, and Aranda just plain ventured too far off the bag. We'll see if that comes back to haunt the Rays.

The record for a starting pitcher was 101.5 mph, set by Noah Syndergaard in 2015.

It is now 103.5 mph after Jacob Misiorowski's first pitch to Yandy Díaz.

Robin Yount, wearing one of the late Bob Uecker's coats, took the ball from former Brewers owner Bud Selig and delivered the ceremonial first pitch.

Yeah, that's about as good as it gets.

It was a fine performance, which comes as no great surprise given that she's a Grammy-nominated artist.

One small gripe: It would have been nice to pick someone with ties to Milwaukee. A word search for Milwaukee on Guyton's Wikipedia page turned up exactly zero results.

Because of a series of shoulder injuries, Woodruff only has 32 appearances to show for the last four seasons. The last one this year came all the way back on July 9.

That the two-time All-Star righty is now on Milwaukee's World Series roster feels like a miracle. No matter how he pitches, Brewers fans are clearly thrilled for the team's longest-tenured player.

Think "The Miz" can beat Noah Syndergaard's Statcast-era World Series record of 101.5 mph?

Uh, yeah. Probably. He's already thrown 40 pitches harder than that in these playoffs, with a max speed of 104.8 mph.

He has the fastest bat in the league, and we know from this year's Home Run Derby that he's capable of going as far as 487 feet.

So to avoid any further disruptions, the FOX crew might want to move their desk somewhere else. Ideally, outside or in some kind of underground bunker.

The big surprise for Game 1 came out on Wednesday, when the Rays revealed their starter to be Nick Martinez over Drew Rasmussen and Freddy Peralta.

The decision was in part meant to get extra rest for Rasmussen, who has put a career-high 193 innings on his right arm. The Rays also have confidence in Martinez, an All-Star who led the team to a 24-9 record in his starts during the regular season.

It's always interesting to see where Chandler Simpson bats in the Rays' lineup, and this is just the sixth time all year he's started in the No. 3 spot. Kevin Cash must like the speedster as a potential pest against Jacob Misiorowski.

On Milwaukee's side, this is the highest Jake Bauers has slotted in the lineup all year. Pat Murphy is playing the hot hand after Bauers won NLCS MVP, driving in six runs just in the last three games of a sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
