Rays vs. Brewers: World Series Game 2 Showdown
25 Oct
Summary
- Brewers lead the series 1-0 after a close 3-2 win.
- Rays ace Drew Rasmussen faces his former team, the Brewers.
- Rookie Logan Henderson starts for the Brewers in Game 2.
The Milwaukee Brewers currently lead the World Series 1-0 after a narrow 3-2 victory in the opening game. Game 2 is set to feature a highly anticipated pitching duel. The Tampa Bay Rays will send their ace, Drew Rasmussen, to the mound against his former team.
Rasmussen, who was drafted and debuted with the Brewers before being traded, has been crucial to the Rays' postseason run with a 1.29 ERA. He faces rookie Logan Henderson, a 24-year-old right-hander making his third playoff start for the Brewers. Henderson has pitched nine innings in the postseason, allowing three earned runs.
This game is critical for both teams. A 2-0 deficit would be a significant hole for the Rays to overcome. For the higher-seeded Brewers, winning their home games is key, but they also aim to avoid a split before facing Freddy Peralta in Game 3.
