Milwaukee got two runs back in the bottom of the first. In the fourth, first baseman Jonathan Aranda muffed David Hamilton’s grounder, allowing Sal Frelick to score and cutting Tampa Bay’s lead to 4-3. Frelick’s sixth-inning homer tied the game, according to Lacques.

Later in the sixth, a pop fly came out of Chandler Simpson’s glove and was scored a single. No run scored on that play. In the seventh, Brice Turang doubled, advanced on a flyout and scored on Cooper Pratt’s single to put Milwaukee ahead, Lacques reports.

Lacques quotes Rays third baseman Junior Caminero: “Nobody in this clubhouse wants to play the baseball we’ve played the last couple days. That’s not who we are.” Jonny DeLuca said the game was “speeding up on us right now,” while Yandy Díaz said the Rays were down 2-0 but had not lost the World Series.
