Teams are historically 8-51 when trailing 2-0 in the League Championship Series. Milwaukee will get 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 before putting on an offensive display against the Tampa Bay bullpen, winning Game 1 of the ALCS 7-3.
