MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN — The Milwaukee Brewers came back from a 4-0 deficit to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night at American Family Field and take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, according to MLB.com.
Tampa Bay scored four runs in the first inning off Brewers rookie Logan Henderson. Yandy Díaz scored on a Chandler Simpson single, Junior Caminero singled in another run, and catcher Liam Hicks hit a 411-foot drive to right-center, the first home run of the Series.
Milwaukee answered in the bottom half. William Contreras singled home Jackson Chourio on a hit-and-run, and Garrett Mitchell's two-out single made it 4-2. In the fourth, Cooper Pratt scored when first baseman Jonathan Aranda was charged with an error on David Hamilton's grounder, cutting the lead to 4-3. Rays starter Drew Rasmussen lasted 3 2/3 innings.
Sal Frelick led off the sixth against left-hander Ian Seymour and, on the ninth pitch of the at-bat, hit a home run to center to tie the game 4-4. Frelick had one home run off left-handers in 98 regular-season plate appearances.
In the seventh, Brice Turang doubled off Tyler Wells and reached third on a deep fly ball. Pratt, a rookie, then singled to right off Kevin Kelly for the go-ahead run. Aaron Ashby got the final out in the ninth, when Díaz was called out on a check swing with the tying run at third.
"If we're down," Frelick said, "we're not out."
Game 3 is Monday at 8 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field on FOX, with Freddy Peralta starting for the Rays against Milwaukee's Robert Gasser.
Milwaukee is two wins from its first World Series title.
