Summary
Milwaukee fell behind 4-0 in the first inning, then rallied for a 5-4 Game 2 win that put the Brewers two victories from the first World Series title in franchise history.
A shutdown relief effort drove the comeback: JoJo Romero, Dustin May and DL Hall held Tampa Bay scoreless after the first before Abner Uribe and Aaron Ashby closed it out.
Sal Frelick tied the game with a home run after hitting only 4 in the regular season, and Milwaukee took the lead in the seventh after steadily chipping away.
Tampa Bay helped fuel the rally with defensive and baserunning mistakes, including Jonathan Aranda's two misplays, Liam Hicks getting thrown out at home, and a late bobble on a double steal.
The win fit a broader pattern for Milwaukee, now 9-1 this postseason with 7 come-from-behind victories and a rare 41-37 overall record when scoring second.
