Rays ace Drew Rasmussen to start World Series Game 5 on short rest against
Milwaukee
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) --- Drew Rasmussen will start for Tampa Bay on three
days' rest in Game 5 of the World Series against the Milwaukee Brewers on
Wednesday night, trying to stave off elimination for the Rays.
A 31-year-old right-hander, Rasmussen threw 89 pitches over 3 2/3 innings in
Game 2 on Saturday, getting no decision as Milwaukee rallied for a 5-4 victory
and a 2-0 Series lead.
Rasmussen has had three major elbow operations in his career, including Tommy
John surgeries in 2016 and 2017 and an internal brace procedure in 2023. The
two-time All-Star was 16-5 with a 2.67 ERA in the regular season.
Jacob Misiorowski was to start on regular four days' rest for the Brewers, who
have a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series after wasting a 12th-inning lead in
a 4-3 loss Tuesday.
Tampa Bay used seven pitchers Tuesday: starter Griffin Jax along with relievers
Kevin Kelly, Game 1 starter Nick Martinez, Bryan Baker, Tyler Wells, Cam Booser
and Ian Seymour.
