Pratt went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday.
Coming off his 4-for-5 performance in Game 4 -- including a go-ahead homer in the 12th inning -- Pratt singled in his first two plate appearances Wednesday to give him a hit in six straight trips to the plate, which only ended with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. The rookie shortstop struggled defensively at times during the playoffs, but he was a consistent contributor at the plate. That was especially the case in the World Series, during which Pratt went 8-for-19 (.421) with two doubles, two homers, a steal, seven RBI and five runs.

Brewers' William Contreras: Named World Series MVP
Rotowire
Contreras was named the World Series MVP after going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored during Game 5 against the Rays on Wednesday.
Contreras smacked a double into left field in the sixth inning to drive in Christian Yelich before coming around to score on a sacrifice fly from Cooper Pratt. Several Brewers players made a strong case for series MVP, but Contreras ultimately earned the title after going 8-for-21 with two walks, four RBI, and two runs scored over the five-game set. The 28-year-old's Fall Classic performance capped an overall dominant postseason, in which he posted a .373/.448/.588 slash line across 51 plate appearances.
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Leaves Game 5 with trainer
Rotowire
Misiorowski was removed from Game 5 of the World Series against the Rays on Wednesday due to cramping in his right calf, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Misiorowski made it through 5.2 shutout innings on 86 pitches before his calf suddenly cramped up on him, and he was removed from the game after feeling discomfort while throwing warm-up pitches. The 24-year-old flamethrower isn't lined up to make another start in the World Series for Milwaukee, and if his start Wednesday proves to be his final outing, he will finish the postseason with a 1.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP alongside a 16:6 K:BB over 19 innings.
Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Carries offense in Game 4 loss
Rotowire
Pratt went 4-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and an additional RBI in Game 4 of the World Series against the Rays on Tuesday.
The rookie shortstop put the Brewers three outs away from their first World Series title with a solo homer in the 12th inning to break a 2-2 tie, but the Milwaukee bullpen couldn't close things out in the bottom of the frame. On a night when offense was at a premium, Pratt accounted for half of his team's hits and now has three extra-base hits and five RBI in the World Series.
