The Milwaukee Brewers rallied from a 4-0 first-inning deficit to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in Game 2 of the World Series, taking a 2-0 series lead. Sal Frelick tied the score with a solo home run in the sixth, his first in 103 plate appearances and his first against a lefty since opening day. Cooper Pratt, a 22-year-old who debuted in June, delivered the go-ahead single in the seventh after Brice Turang doubled and Garrett Mitchell advanced him. Milwaukee used a bullpen that included Abner Uribe, who worked 1 1/3 hitless innings for the win, and Aaron Ashby, who recorded the save and has three postseason saves without allowing a run. Tampa Bay committed one error, had two other defensive misplays, and suffered a runner thrown out at the plate while failing to protect its early lead. Milwaukee has now won seven straight games and completed its seventh comeback win of the postseason. Game 3 is Monday night at Tropicana Field.
