World Series Game 2 Final Score: Brewers Beat Rays 5-4 After Stunning First-Inning Comeback
The Milwaukee Brewers completed a remarkable comeback to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday, taking a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Tampa Bay had raced into a 4-0 lead in the first inning at American Family Field, but Milwaukee fought back run by run before sealing a win that puts the club two victories from its first championship.
Milwaukee's bullpen was the story of the night, delivering six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts and just four hits allowed. It was the fourth time in postseason history that a team has won after conceding four runs in the first inning. The victory made it seven straight postseason wins for the Brewers and nine wins from their last ten playoff games, with seven of those nine coming from behind.
History is firmly on Milwaukee's side: teams that go 2-0 up in the World Series have gone on to win more than 80 percent of the time. The series now moves to Florida, with Game 3 set for Monday, October 26, at Tropicana Field. The Brewers are chasing their first title ever and their first World Series appearance since 1982, while the Rays are still seeking a first championship after final defeats in 2008 and 2020.
