  • Tampa Bay turns to ace Drew Rasmussen, who has excelled this postseason after the Rays chose not to use him on normal rest in the opener.
  • The Brewers counter with Logan Henderson, whose first full season turned him into a key piece of their rotation.
  • A Rays loss would send the series to Tampa Bay with Milwaukee up 2-0, while a win would reclaim home-field edge before three straight games at Tropicana Field.
