MLB Notebook: Brewers chase history, Red Sox add depth, managerial changes loom
Boston Sports Journal • • sports
Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the World Series by rallying from a four-run deficit to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in Game 2 at American Family Field.
- Sal Frelick hit a game-tying home run in the sixth inning, and rookie Cooper Pratt delivered the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh, showcasing Milwaukee's resilience throughout the postseason.
- Rays starter Drew Rasmussen struggled early, lasting only 3 2/3 innings, which forced Tampa Bay to rely on its bullpen sooner than expected against a strong Brewers relief corps.
- The game ended controversially with a strikeout call on Yandy Díaz after a disputed check swing, sealing the Brewers' victory and putting them two wins away from their first World Series title.
- The Brewers joined an elite group of teams overcoming multiple four-run deficits in a single postseason and became the second team to win six postseason games without scoring first.
