The Milwaukee Brewers are two wins from a championship. Milwaukee rallied from 4-0 down to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at American Family Field, taking a 2-0 series lead.
Tampa Bay led 4-0 in the first inning, but Sal Frelick tied the game 4-4 with a leadoff home run in the sixth, a 408-foot shot to centre and his first career postseason homer. Rookie Cooper Pratt, aged 22 years and 67 days, then singled in Brice Turang in the seventh for the go-ahead run, reported as the second-youngest player with an RBI and a stolen base in a World Series game since RBI became official in 1920.
The Rays stranded the tying run at third in the ninth for the second straight game, with Yandy Díaz striking out on a check-swing appeal to end it. Game 3 is on Monday, October 26, in St. Petersburg, Florida.
History is on Milwaukee’s side: only 10 teams have overcome a 2-0 World Series deficit, the last being the 1996 New York Yankees.
