Another October Comeback
The Brewers have now trailed in nine of their 10 October games yet prevailed in eight of those. On Saturday they spotted the Rays a four-run lead in the opening inning of World Series Game 2 before claiming a 5-4 win. That performance extended a pattern that began with a pair of rallies against the Padres and continued through a sweep of the Dodgers in which Milwaukee trailed in every contest.
Frelick Provides the Spark
A sixth-inning homer from the 5-foot-9 outfielder erased the final deficit and set the stage for a seventh-inning run that produced the go-ahead run. The club has leaned on contributions from across the roster, including a rookie single that scored the decisive run after the starter had already been removed. Milwaukee's bullpen then delivered six scoreless frames to close out the contest before a crowd of 43,245.
Two Wins From History
The victory left the Brewers at 9-1 this postseason and positioned them two victories from the first championship in franchise history. The club has shown an ability to treat deficits as temporary, a trait that carried it through hostile environments earlier in October. The series now shifts to Tropicana Field with Milwaukee holding a 2-0 advantage.
