Peralta, Caminero, Díaz lead Rays to 7-3 win over Guardians and a trip to the World Series
Junior Caminero and Yandy Díaz each hit two-run homers as Tampa Bay used strong pitching and late offense to secure the pennant.
- On Monday, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Freddy Peralta earned American League Championship Series MVP honors after anchoring the team's 7-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Tropicana Field.
- Acquired from the New York Mets on August 2, Peralta transformed his season in Tampa Bay, posting a 3.25 ERA over 10 starts after adopting a glute-heavy workout regimen and pitching from the stretch.
- Dubbed "Fastball Freddy" by manager Kevin Cash, Peralta went 2-0 with a 1.08 ERA across four postseason appearances, allowing one run on five hits during his 5 1/3 innings in Game 6.
- Now, Peralta prepares to face the Milwaukee Brewers, the organization where he spent eight seasons. "Milwaukee is going to be always in my heart," Peralta said, "but it's time now to compete."
- Few expected this trajectory in January, when Peralta struggled with the Mets and faced free agency. His postseason dominance positions the Rays to pursue their first championship since 2020.
