@arkansasbias316179: The 1 Seed Tampa Bay Rays got a first round bye then come into the Divisional Series and sweep the Yankees off the floor to have the right to play for their first pennant since 2020 and play their first American League Championship Series game at Tropicana Field since October 19th, 2008. Now let’s recap game 3 of the ALDS between the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees: Key Game Moments The Starter Matchup: Max Fried took the loss for the Yankees, allowing 4 earned runs over 5.2 innings. Nick Martinez started for the Rays, allowing 2 runs over 3.2 innings before handing it off to the bullpen. Trading Blows: Jonathan Aranda put the Rays on the board first with an RBI single in the third, which Ben Rice answered with an RBI single for New York. In the fourth, Ryan Vilade homered to give the Rays a 2-1 lead, but Spencer Jones quickly tied it up again with an RBI double in the bottom half. The Decisive Inning: Victor Mesa Jr. crushed a go-ahead, two-run home run off Fried in the top of the sixth to make it 4-2. In the bottom half, Volpe's fan-interfered double cut the lead to 4-3, but the Yankees' offense stalled from there. The Lockdown Save: Closer Bryan Baker pitched a scoreless ninth inning, capping off the sweep by striking out Trent Grisham to seal the victory. Game 1 of the Championship Series will be on Monday in Tampa where there’ll play either the Chicago White Sox’s or Cleveland Guardians in the Championship Series!! Game 1 first pitch is to be determined.
