Drew Rasmussen, the Tampa Bay Rays' ace, delivered his shortest start in 97 days during World Series Game 2 against the Milwaukee Brewers. Manager Kevin Cash elected to start Rasmussen for the second game, hoping it would benefit the team, but it did not pan out as expected. Despite a brief respite, Rasmussen's performance was disappointing.
Rasmussen lasted just 3.2 innings, allowing three earned runs on six hits. He struck out four and walked two batters. This marked his shortest start since July 9, when he went 2.1 innings against the New York Yankees, also his last start where he failed to reach five innings. Before this outing, Rasmussen had been exceptional in the postseason, throwing eight shutout innings against the Yankees in the ALDS and pitching seven strong innings in Game 5 of the ALCS against the Cleveland Guardians, surrendering only one run.
