Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 in Game 4 of the ALCS, tying the series 2-2 and setting up a best-of-three to decide the American League champion.
- Game 4 was postponed by a day due to heavy rain in Cleveland, leading to a condensed schedule with potentially four games in four days if the series goes to seven games.
- Key offensive contributions came from Yandy Díaz, Jonathan Aranda, and Junior Caminero, who combined for multiple hits, runs, and RBIs to power the Rays' victory.
- Despite an early run by the Guardians, the Rays rallied in the third inning to tie the game and took the lead with timely hits, including a two-run homer by Díaz in the ninth inning.
- Tampa Bay's bullpen, including a relief appearance by Game 2 starter Freddy Peralta, effectively shut down the Guardians late to secure the win and keep their World Series hopes alive against the Milwaukee Brewers.
