Cleveland Guardians lead ALCS 2-1 over Tampa Bay Rays
The Cleveland Guardians have taken a 2-1 lead in the American League Championship Series after a 3-2 comeback victory against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3. Petey Halpin delivered the decisive blow with a two-run home run in the fifth inning to reclaim the lead.
Cleveland's pitching was anchored by Gavin Williams, who earned the win after striking out nine batters across five innings. The Guardians' bullpen, led by closer Cade Smith, successfully neutralized the Rays' offense in the final innings to secure the win.
Earlier in the series, the Rays had tied the matchup 1-1 following a dominant performance by Freddy Peralta, who pitched six scoreless innings in Game 2. The series now moves forward with Cleveland holding the advantage as they aim for a spot in the World Series.
