Brewers rally from four-run deficit to beat Rays 5-4 and take 2-0 World Series lead

Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night, taking a 2-0 series lead. Milwaukee overcame a four-run deficit, its second comeback of that size in the postseason. Sal Frelick tied the score with his first home run in three months, and Cooper Pratt hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning. Tampa Bay, which won the AL pennant by forcing opponents into mistakes, committed one error, made two other misplays that could have been charged as errors, and had a runner thrown out at the plate. Game 3 is Monday in St. Petersburg, Florida, and only 10 teams have overcome a 2-0 deficit to win the World Series.
