Tampa Bay defeated Milwaukee 3–2 on March 30 at American Family Field in a low-scoring affair that fell well short of the Vegas total line of 1. The Rays' offense proved more efficient despite striking out 14 times, collecting 7 hits with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs while posting a .777 OPS. Milwaukee managed only 6 hits and 2 RBIs, though the Brewers posted a superior .874 OPS and struck out just 7 times at the plate. On the mound, the Brewers' pitching staff dominated with 14 strikeouts and a 3.25 ERA across 7 hits allowed, but three earned runs proved costly. Tampa Bay's pitching was less impressive, surrendering 6 hits and posting a 5.60 ERA, yet timely hitting and two home runs secured the road victory. Neither team committed errors, keeping the game clean defensively. The Rays' ability to win despite high strikeout totals and a weaker ERA suggests their power-based approach may carry them through early spring, while Milwaukee's pitching strength offers optimism heading into the regular season.
