Guardians stun Rays with another October comeback as unlikely heroes emerge

The Cleveland Guardians apparently have no interest in taking the easy road through October. After overcoming a two-game deficit in the American League Division Series, Cleveland opened the AL Championship Series with another impressive comeback. The Guardians defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 Monday night at Tropicana Field, scoring seven runs over the final four innings to steal home-field advantage. Cleveland collected 14 hits and received important contributions from several players. Chase DeLauter and Patrick Bailey supplied the power, Nathaniel Lowe delivered the decisive hit, and José Ramírez continued his impressive postseason production.
