The Rays tied up the series 1-1 as the ALCS heads to Cleveland.
The ALCS continued Thursday afternoon as the Tampa Bay Rays faced off against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. The series remained tied 1-1 with the game shifting to Cleveland. Rain earlier in the week led to an early start for this matchup.
Starting for the Rays was Griffin Jax, who made his first career postseason start. Jax, a right-hander, went the distance of two innings in the ALDS, striking out four while allowing a single earned run and a walk over 32 pitches.
The Guardians took to the mound with Gavin Williams, another right-hander. Williams, who had a stellar performance in the ALDS clincher against the Chicago White Sox, allowed just one hit and struck out twelve over 5 2/3 innings to secure the win.
Things heated up in the sixth inning, with the Rays loading the bases, but relief came in the form of left-hander Erik Sabrowski. Sabrowski struck out Munetaka Murakami, preventing all three runners from scoring.
