Sports Scores October 24, 2026: Brewers Rally, BYU Falls

Milwaukee erased a four-run deficit, Golden State leveled the WNBA Finals and college football produced another wave of Top 25 upheaval.

As of 2:50 a.m. Eastern on Sunday, October 25, the sports scores from October 24, 2026, featured championship drama and a Saturday full of upsets. The Brewers took a 2-0 World Series lead, the Valkyries tied the WNBA Finals, and five ranked college-football teams lost to unranked opponents.

In addition, the NBA completed eight games, the NHL finished a 12-game slate and MLS played 14 matches. All scores below were final by the stated cutoff; multi-day golf and motorsports events are labeled as ongoing rather than final.

World Series Game 2: Brewers 5, Rays 4

Milwaukee fell behind 4-0 in the first inning, yet its bullpen delivered six scoreless frames and the offense methodically erased the deficit. Sal Frelick tied the game with his first home run in three months. Then Cooper Pratt singled home Brice Turang in the seventh for the winning run.

Tampa Bay opened with consecutive hits by Chandler Simpson and Junior Caminero before Liam Hicks delivered the inning’s biggest blow. Milwaukee answered through William Contreras, Garrett Mitchell and a Rays error before Frelick completed the comeback.

Winning pitcher: Abner Uribe (1-0) · Losing pitcher: Tyler Wells (0-2) · Save: Aaron Ashby (3). Ashby stranded a leadoff double in the ninth, while Milwaukee’s relievers allowed no runs after starter Logan Henderson departed. The Brewers now lead the best-of-seven series 2-0. MLB Brewers coverage
