World Series Game 2: Tampa Bay Rays vs. Milwaukee Brewers HIGHLIGHTS | ESPN MLB

Liam Hicks sends the ball deep into right field, and Tampa Bay has four runs before Milwaukee has scored any. ESPN MLB's Game 2 reel gives that lead barely a moment to settle before the Brewers begin taking it apart.

William Contreras brings home a run on a hit-and-run. Garrett Mitchell singles in another, then a grounder slips through Jonathan Aranda's legs at first base. Sal Frelick ties it with a home run to center, and Cooper Pratt's single puts Milwaukee ahead. Aaron Ashby's closing strikeout completes a 5-4 comeback and gives the Brewers a two-game World Series lead.

The compact edit of FOX's game footage, posted with an ESPN outro, drew nearly 200,000 views in its first day, about 25 times the channel's usual start for Shorts. Its comment section was also more than ten times as busy as usual.

The conversation isn't only about the comeback. Viewers single out how quickly the reel gets through the game, with several discussing the merits of short highlights rather than a lengthy recap. One commenter writing as a coach points to Milwaukee's mix of singles and situational hitting as a reminder that home runs aren't the only way to build a win. Frelick's blast is the centerpiece, but the little hits around it matter just as much to this particular story.

As a Brewers fan, I've been watching them do this all year, and I still can't believe it.

Say what you want about this kind of baseball, but as a coach this style of play is what dreams are made of. Shows the kids of the future you dont have to hit dingers all the time to win ball games!

It feels good to be a Milwaukee native at times and the Brewers are making this feel good moment in time possible
