Following two painful defeats in Milwaukee, the Tampa Bay Rays are set to return to Florida for Game 3 of the World Series, hoping to reverse their fortunes on home turf.
In Game 2, the Brewers erased an early 4-0 deficit by steadily scoring against Tampa Bay's pitching staff. Milwaukee's bullpen delivered six shutout innings, and Cooper Pratt's seventh-inning single drove in the go-ahead run, sealing a 5-4 victory.
The Rays are counting on a return to Tropicana Field, where they posted a 55-26 record during the regular season—tied with Milwaukee for the best home mark in Major League Baseball—to help them get back on track.
This will mark the first World Series game at Tropicana Field since October 23, 2008, when the Rays secured their only win in a five-game series loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Adding to Tampa Bay's optimism, Freddy Peralta will take the mound after being named MVP of the American League Championship Series. The Rays will need another dominant outing from him and more consistent production from their lineup to climb back into the series.
