Brewers come from behind to win Game 2 and take a 2-0 World Series lead

The Milwaukee Brewers have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the World Series, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in a thrilling Game 2 comeback on Saturday. The Brewers rallied from an early four-run deficit, showcasing their resilience after the Rays initially surged ahead in the first inning. This marks the second time in the 2026 postseason that Milwaukee has overcome a four-run deficit to secure a victory.

Key offensive plays fueled the Brewers' comeback, with Sal Frelick hitting a game-tying home run in the sixth inning. Rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt, who had an error earlier in the game, delivered the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning to give Milwaukee the decisive lead. The Brewers' bullpen also played a crucial role, pitching six scoreless innings to seal the win.
