San Diego Padres vs. Toronto Blue Jays - April 21, 2024

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

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

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.

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.

Junior Caminero remaining in the game after a frightening collision with Jonny DeLuca as they both chased a fly ball into foul territory. DeLuca clipped his left side and tumbled to the turf but Caminero, after spinning around, dropped after. He was down for a couple minutes
