The Milwaukee Brewers lead the World Series 1-0 after beating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in Game 1 on Friday night, CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated reported.

Closer Trevor Megill finished the win for Milwaukee. He struck out Johnny DeLuca with runners on second and third in the ninth, CBS Sports said. Sports Illustrated also said Megill shut the door after Tampa Bay pulled within one run late. Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski worked five innings, allowed one run on four hits and got the win, CBS Sports reported.

Game 2 is Saturday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee. Sports Illustrated listed first pitch at 8 at night Eastern. Tampa Bay will start Drew Rasmussen, held for this start rather than Game 1, CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated said. Milwaukee counters with rookie Logan Henderson. Henderson has worked in tandem with Misiorowski in the postseason, those outlets reported.

Rasmussen has been strong this postseason, Sports Illustrated said, including deep outings in earlier rounds. Manager Kevin Cash gave him an extra day before this start, Sports Illustrated reported. Henderson's recent playoff line has been mixed, with command issues in some games, Sports Illustrated noted. A Rays win would even the series before it leaves Milwaukee. The Brewers entered the series with the better regular-season record, Sports Illustrated noted. Cash's choice to hold Rasmussen for Game 2 was a bet that the right-hander would be fresher for a must-even start on the road. Henderson will try to give Milwaukee a 2-0 edge before the series shifts.

What we know: Milwaukee leads 1-0 after a 3-2 Game 1, and Game 2 pairs Rasmussen against Henderson on Saturday night.
What we don't: Whether Rasmussen can even the series, or how long each starter will work.
