While the Dodgers await a big swing from one of their superstars, William Contreras took over Game 2 of the NLCS “Whatever people think about him, he's underrated. He's that good.” https://t.co/RFuNuBPtGU?

The Trop was alive and after a fast start, so too were the Rays, until the relentless pressure of the Guardians quelled that in the ALCS opener: https://t.co/BmF6RNwm2M

Ben Nicholson-Smith

For seven minutes in the third inning of Game 2, Jake Bauers battled Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Afterwards, Bauers said it felt like about 30 seconds. Regardless, that confrontation changed the game and the Brewers are in full control of the NLCS https://t.co/RFuNuBOVRm

Shi Davidi

Six pitches for Cade Smith in the ninth to lock down a 7-3 win. Guardians lead the best of seven ALCS 1-0 and start Parker Messick versus Freddy Peralta in Game 2 tomorrow night.

Shi Davidi

The Guardians have been relentless in the latter half of this game, with runs in each of the last four innings, turning a 2-0 deficit into a 7-3 lead. Jose Ramirez RBI single and Jo Adell's two-run double give Cade Smith plenty of breathing room heading into B9.
