Frelick and Pratt lift Brewers to 5-4 comeback win over Rays and 2-0 World
Series lead

MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Sal Frelick tied the score with his first home run in three
months, Cooper Pratt hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning and the
Milwaukee Brewers stunned the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 on Saturday night for a 2-0
World Series lead by overcoming a four-run deficit for the second time in the
postseason.
Tampa Bay, which won the AL pennant by forcing opponents into mistakes,
committed one error, made two other misplays that could have been charged as
errors and had a runner thrown out at the plate.
Down 4-0 in the first inning, Milwaukee rallied for its seventh comeback win of
this postseason. The Brewers also rebounded from a 4-0 deficit to beat the Los
Angeles Dodgers 6-4 in Game 4 of the NL Championship Series, completing a
four-game sweep.
After losing Friday's opener 3-2, the Rays burst ahead against rookie Logan
Henderson but the Brewers started to claw back with two runs in the bottom half
against Tampa Bay ace Drew Rasmussen.
