The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in World Series Game 2 on Saturday, rallying from a four-run deficit in the first inning to take a 2-0 series lead. Multiple outlets describe the Brewers erasing an early 4-0 start and then holding off a late Rays push in the ninth.
Several reports emphasize key Milwaukee moments: Sal Frelick’s home run that tied the game and Cooper Pratt’s go-ahead single in the seventh. While most coverage frames the comeback as a standout part of Milwaukee’s postseason run, one outlet also highlights that the late rally featured a “controversial call.” Other outlets focus more generally on Milwaukee’s resilience and the Rays being undone by errors or defensive misplays.
The story’s context is consistent across sources: the Brewers move within two wins of their first franchise World Series title, and Game 3 is set for Florida following Game 2’s outcome.
