Overview

  • Milwaukee rallied from a 4-0 deficit to win Game 2, 5-4, on Saturday and now holds a 2-0 lead in the World Series.
  • The series shifts to Tropicana Field for Games 3–5 with Game 3 set for Monday at 8 p.m. ET on FOX and a Rays home win needed to avoid returning to Milwaukee one victory from the title.
  • Tampa Bay announced a 26-man World Series roster on Oct. 23 that replaces prospect Brody Hopkins with left-hander Garrett Cleavinger.
  • The Rays are expected to start Freddy Peralta in Game 3; Peralta is the ALCS MVP, a former Brewer, and has been dominant in recent starts.
  • MLB analysis highlights growing concern over the Rays’ relief corps, which has leaned heavily on Cam Booser and closer Bryan Baker while several other relievers have struggled, giving Milwaukee’s deep bullpen a clear late-game edge.
