Milwaukee Brewers vs Tampa Bay Rays live updates; World Series Game 2

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in Game 2 of the 2026 World Series, taking a 2-0 lead in the series. Despite an early four-run deficit, the Brewers rallied with key performances from Sal Frelick and Cooper Pratt to move within two wins of their first championship.
Why it matters
This game marks a significant milestone for the Milwaukee Brewers franchise as they pursue their first-ever World Series title.
This time, the Milwaukee Brewers didn't waste a stunning and thrilling show of power from Sal Frelick. But yes, there was more late-inning drama. The Brewers wouldn't have it any other way.
Frelick, who hit all of four home runs in the regular season, launched a game-tying home run to dead center in the sixth inning off Tampa Bay Rays lefty reliever Ian Seymour, and Cooper Pratt got redemption for an earlier error with a go-ahead single in the seventh.
Yet again, the Brewers rallied from an earlier deficit in the 2026 postseason after staking the Rays to four first-inning runs. The 5-4 win gives Milwaukee a 2-0 lead in the World Series, two wins shy of the first championship in franchise history.
