Adam Eargle, CBS Sports Design The ALCS continued on Tuesday night and, after dropping Game 1 at home, the Rays evened the series at 1-1 with a 3-1 victory in Game 2. Tampa Bay scored all three of its runs in the fourth, thanks in part to a two-out error from Cleveland star José Ramírez, who let a grounder go through his legs. That error allowed the game's first run to score. Liam Hicks then followed it with a two-run single to make it 3-0 Rays. The Guardians cut the Rays lead to 3-1 in the seventh, but that was as close as the game would get.
The Guardians took Game 1 on Monday in a late comeback against the Rays bullpen, while their own pitching staff stifled the offense after the first inning. The series will now move to Cleveland, beginning with Game 3 on Thursday.
In the NLCS, meanwhile, the Brewers squeaked by the Dodgers in Game 1, then got to Yoshinobu Yamamoto early in Game 2 and now hold a 2-0 series lead. They had a night off before the series shifts to Los Angeles on Wednesday for Game 3.
To get here, the Dodgers took down the Braves, the Brewers beat the Padres, the Rays knocked out the Yankees and the Guardians escaped the White Sox. The Astros, Red Sox, Cubs and Phillies were already eliminated in the best-of-three Wild Card Series.
