Rays' Rasmussen Beats Guardians for ALCS Lead, but Warns of 'Poison'
- On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 to take a 3-2 lead in the American League Championship Series. Drew Rasmussen allowed one run over seven innings for his second postseason win.
- Seeking their first ALCS pennant since 2020, Tampa Bay holds a statistical advantage; since 1985, road teams winning Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead have won the series four of five times.
- Jonathan Aranda and Liam Hicks drove in runs during the first three innings to build an early lead. Steven Kwan prevented further damage with a leaping catch at the center-field wall.
- Reliever Bryan Baker converted his 35th straight save chance in the ninth to secure the victory. The Rays are now one win away from the World Series, with the potential clincher scheduled for Monday at Tropicana Field.
- Should the series extend, Game 7 would be Tuesday, with the World Series beginning Friday in Milwaukee. Cleveland has not won an ALCS after trailing 3-2, facing a difficult historical path.
