World Series Game 2 | Milwaukee 5, Tampa Bay 4 | MIL leads series 2-0
Brewing up trouble again. Milwaukee came back from 4 down last night at American Family Field and now Tampa Bay is heading home in a serious hole.
The starters were a mess early. Logan Henderson (Milwaukee Brewers) went 3.0 innings, gave up 3 earned on 64 pitches including a homer to Liam Hicks (Tampa Bay Rays) who went 1-2 with 2 RBI on the night. Drew Rasmussen (Tampa Bay Rays) wasn't much better - 3.2 innings, 6 hits, 3 earned, 89 pitches. Both clubs burned through their starters fast.
Milwaukee's offense clawed back. Sal Frelick (Milwaukee Brewers) went 2-4 with a homer and an RBI. William Contreras (Milwaukee Brewers) added 2 hits and an RBI. Jackson Chourio (Milwaukee Brewers) was in the middle of things too, going 2-5 with a run scored. Jonny DeLuca (Tampa Bay Rays) had a nice night at the plate going 2-4 but the Rays couldn't hold the lead.
The decisions: Abner Uribe (Milwaukee Brewers) got the win, Tyler Wells (Tampa Bay Rays) took the loss, and Aaron Ashby (Milwaukee Brewers) earned the save - 1.2 innings, 1 hit, 3 strikeouts, nothing across. That was a real shutdown performance out of the pen when Milwaukee needed it most.
Tampa Bay was 98-64 in the regular season. Milwaukee was 103-59. These aren't flukes, but right now one club looks like they know exactly what they're doing in October.
Series shifts to Tampa - can the Rays even get this thing back to Milwaukee, or is this already over?
