The Cleveland Guardians opened the American League Championship Series with a road victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, according to coverage from ESPN and Fox Sports, both describing the outcome as an upset.
Fox Sports reported that Cleveland earned a 7-3 win at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, following an ALDS matchup against the Chicago White Sox that stretched to the maximum number of games. Tampa Bay starter Drew Rasmussen had struck out seven batters without issuing a walk across six frames, allowing only a sixth-inning solo home run to rookie Chase DeLauter.
Cleveland rallied in the late innings against the Tampa Bay bullpen, according to Fox Sports. Patrick Bailey hit a solo home run to level the score at 2-2, and Nathaniel Lowe drove in two runs with an eighth-inning single following hits by Jose Ramirez and DeLauter. Jo Adell added a two-run double in the ninth inning to cap a run in which Cleveland scored seven of the contest's final eight runs.
