MILWAUKEE – Rookie Cooper Pratt made the most of his second opportunity.

Pratt singled in the go-ahead run to atone for a costly error, and the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a four-run deficit behind six scoreless innings from their lockdown bullpen for a 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night and a 2-0 lead in the World Series.

The Brewers, who trailed 4-0 in the first inning, took their first lead of Game 2 in the seventh when Brice Turang doubled off Tyler Wells (0-2) and advanced on a flyout, and Pratt greeted Kevin Kelly with an RBI single to right to put Milwaukee up 5-4.
