Brewers rally to beat Rays, take 2-0 World Series lead
The Milwaukee Brewers rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning to erase a four-run deficit and defeat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4, giving the Brewers a 2-0 lead in the 2026 World Series. The win follows the Brewers’ 3-2 victory in Game 1, which was secured after a replay review overturned a potential game-ending double play.
Both clubs are making their first World Series appearance, each having posted over 100 regular-season wins – the highest-win total matchup since 2017. Analysts had highlighted the depth of both rosters, noting Jacob Misiorowski and Nick Martinez as the opening starters for Milwaukee and Tampa Bay respectively.
