The Tampa Bay Rays narrowly defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 amid controversy on April 29, 2024.
A disputed backswing interference call negated a potential game-tying run for the Brewers in the latest game.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy was ejected after contesting the umpire's decision, which followed another contentious ruling in a prior game against the Yankees.
Despite the Brewers' third consecutive loss, the Rays achieved only their second victory in eight games.
Pitchers Ryan Pepiot and three relievers secured a three-hit shutout for the Rays.
The upcoming game will see the Rays' LHP Tyler Alexander and the Brewers' RHP Freddy Peralta as starting pitchers.
