Brewers rally from four down to beat the Rays 5-4 and take a 2-0 World Series lead

The Milwaukee Brewers fell behind 4-0 in the first inning of World Series Game 2 on Saturday night, then scored five straight runs to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 and take a 2-0 series lead. Cooper Pratt's RBI single in the seventh scored Brice Turang with the go-ahead run, and Aaron Ashby got the final five outs for the save.

Tampa Bay jumped Brewers starter Logan Henderson right away. Chandler Simpson and Junior Caminero hit RBI singles, and Liam Hicks followed with a two-run homer to right-center that went 411 feet, according to ESPN's play-by-play.

Milwaukee got two back in the bottom of the first on RBI singles by William Contreras and Garrett Mitchell. In the fourth, Pratt scored when Rays first baseman Jonathan Aranda made a fielding error on David Hamilton's grounder, cutting it to 4-3.

Sal Frelick tied the game in the sixth with a 408-foot homer to center off Ian Seymour. MLB's account noted it was the Brewers' first World Series home run in 16,075 days, a gap that dates to the 1982 Series, Milwaukee's last trip.

Pratt broke the tie an inning later with a single to right off Tyler Wells, who took the loss. The Milwaukee crowd chanted "Coop" during the at-bat. Pratt finished 1 for 3 with a walk, and Frelick went 2 for 4.

The Brewers nearly added on in the eighth. Jackson Chourio singled and stole second and third, but he was thrown out at home on Contreras' grounder to short, and the call stood after Milwaukee challenged.

Henderson lasted three innings and allowed four runs, three earned. After that, Milwaukee's bullpen did not allow a run. JoJo Romero, Dustin May and DL Hall each threw a scoreless inning, and Abner Uribe got four outs and the win. Jonny DeLuca led off the ninth with a double to put the tying run on second, but Ashby struck out Victor Mesa Jr., got a groundout and struck out Yandy Diaz to end it.

Drew Rasmussen, facing his former team, gave up three runs in 3 2/3 innings for Tampa Bay. Contreras had two hits and is batting .395 this postseason, per ESPN's box score.

Milwaukee won Game 1 3-2 on Friday. The series now moves to Tampa Bay, and the Brewers need two more wins for their first championship.
