Why it matters
The World Series is a major cultural and sporting event in the U.S., and the Brewers' performance highlights significant momentum in professional baseball.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Four-run deficits don't discourage the Milwaukee Brewers this October, not with those orange Life Savers. Sal Frelick and Cooper Pratt, two of the under-the-radar Brewers manager Pat Murphy thinks of with his nickname for less-appreciated candy, combined for a sweet World Series comeback. Frelick tied the score with his first home run in three months, Pratt hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning to make up for his earlier error and the Brewers stunned the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 on Saturday night for a 2-0 World Series lead. “I would think I’m in that orange Life Saver category,” Frelick said, turning to Pratt. “Do you? Maybe you’re a red.” Down 4-0 in the first inning, Milwaukee rallied for its seventh comeback win among nine postseason victories.
