Yandy Díaz went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double, 2 RBI, and 2 runs scored for the Rays in Game 4.
The Tampa Bay Rays are THIS close to the World Series! In a huge ALCS Game 4 on Saturday night, the Rays throttled the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 to grab a 3-1 series lead. One more win and Tampa Bay is heading to the Fall Classic!
The star of the night was Yandy Díaz, who went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, 2 RBI, and 2 runs scored. That's a stat line worth showing your friends, Jacob! The Rays jumped on the Guardians early and never really let up, keeping Cleveland's offense quiet when it mattered most.
The Guardians (who finished the regular season 85-77) will need to win three straight to survive, and that's a super tough task against this hot Rays team. Game 5 is next — can Cleveland come back? Or will Tampa Bay pop the champagne and head to the World Series? Stay tuned!
