The gist
Brewers reliever Abner Uribe threw 1⅓ scoreless innings in Milwaukee's 3-2 World Series Game 1 win over Tampa Bay.
The bounce-back outing followed a rough NLCS Game 3 and steadied Milwaukee's bullpen.
Background
Abner Uribe is a right-handed relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, described as an integral piece of the bullpen all season with a 100 MPH sinker and big slider combination. He entered Game 1 as a minor question mark after a poor outing in Game 3 of the NLCS (National League Championship Series) against the Los Angeles Dodgers, his seventh straight postseason appearance, and had eight days off since because he did not pitch in the Game 4 clincher. The Brewers swept the two-time defending champion Dodgers to reach their second World Series and first since 1982, seeking the first championship in franchise history.
