Brewers Win World Series Opener After 44 Years

Milwaukee rallied from a 4-0 first-inning deficit to beat Tampa Bay 5-4 in Game 2 of the World Series, taking a 2-0 series lead. Sal Frelick tied the game with a solo homer in the sixth, ending a three-month home-run drought, and Cooper Pratt hit the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh. The Brewers’ bullpen held the Rays scoreless over the final six innings, while Tampa Bay’s defensive miscues contributed to the comeback. The game ended on a disputed checked-swing call against Yandy Díaz, stranding the tying run at third.
