Summary
Milwaukee rallied from four runs down to beat Tampa Bay 5-4 in Game 2, moving two wins from the franchise’s first World Series title.
Sal Frelick tied the game with a sixth-inning solo homer, and rookie Cooper Pratt put the Brewers ahead in the seventh with an RBI single after his earlier error helped spark Tampa Bay’s 4-0 first inning.
Aaron Ashby stranded the tying run at third in the ninth, ending the game on a disputed check-swing strikeout of Yandy Díaz after Jonny DeLuca’s leadoff double threatened another Rays comeback.
Tampa Bay has now left the tying run on base in the ninth in both games and is 3-for-20 with runners in scoring position through the first two contests as the series shifts to Florida for Game 3.
