Teams are historically 8-51 when trailing 2-0 in the League Championship Series. Milwaukee gets a night off before the series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Wednesday.
In the late game, the Guardians waited out Rays starter Drew Rasmussen, then put on an offensive clinic against the bullpen for a 7-3 win in Game 1 of the ALCS.
To reach the Championship Series, the Dodgers eliminated the Braves, the Brewers beat the Padres, the Rays knocked out the Yankees, and the Guardians escaped the White Sox. The Astros, Red Sox, Cubs and Phillies were eliminated in the best-of-three Wild Card Series.
