Rasmussen got into an 11-pitch battle with Jackson Chourio, forcing him to end the second inning scoreless. The Rays ace is at 48 points through two and definitely feeling that passive Brewers and pesky lineup so far.

Henderson struck out Jonathan Aranda in the top of the second. It is in the word 51.

More runs than all of Game 1, too.

Henderson gets a sacrifice bunt from Taylor Walls, then hits Yandy Díaz. We don’t know how long he left in this game, but he left in the top of the second.

Guillermo Conteras, with ABS challenges usually with a steady hand, fires a single on the inside call when Victor Mosa Jr., who draws one pitch later.

Drew Rasmussen hit a three-run homer off Cooper Pratt to end a 33-minute, 14-hit, six-run first inning. The Rays are still playing, but we have a definite game here.
The big question now is how long these teams stick with starting pitchers.

Garrett Mitchell fouls the count then hits another scorching line drive, this time at 112.3 mph, where the Rays can’t catch it. The Rays have a big lead now in the middle, and Rasmussen still has runners on the corners with two outs.

Now the radio gets continuous as Brice Turang goes 108.5 mph straight to Richie Palacios for second. Rasmussen pulled the outfielder from this impasse with only one run allowed, Garrett Mitchell up to bat.

Contreras hit a base hit that got past second baseman Richie Palacios, who had moved to second because of Brewer’s hit and run. It’s a race for a brewery that still has runners in the corners with one out. Aranda was a valuable group of foul mixtures.

Christian Yelich struck out and Jonathan Aranda had seconds coming to him in foul territory, but a pop-up bounced off his glove near the ball to give new life to Guillermo Conteras. It’s a big break for the Brewers since their best draft run, let’s see if it pays off for the Rays.

Now one of Jake Bauers runners in the corners with no cut. Brewers are already threatening a response.

Jackson Chourio leads off the Brewer with a single off Drew Rasmussen. Some interesting football.

Henderson walked the inning to hitter Richie Palacios and a lineout by Jonny DeLuca. The Brewers have to do the work now, and this pitch sounds a little stunning after going wild yesterday.

Logan Henderson had not allowed more than three earned runs in 25 career MLB starts between the regular season and the season. The Rays have five bangs to end that streak.
Liam Hicks of the midfield stands on fire in the middle of the field, and the rays are great in the first peak.

Junior Caminero wins a nine-pitch battle with Logan Henderson, with a line drive to Simpson down third base. Henderson has one behind the squad of four and 23 points.
