The Opener: Peralta, Baker, Ohtani

The Dodgers will turn to Blake Snell in Game 3. He struggled with control in the NLDS, but did extend his streak to nine straight starts allowing one earned run or fewer. 1. Fastball Freddy is back Rays right-hander Freddy Peralta delivered an excellent performance to even the ALCS at a game apiece. He punched out six Guardians over six scoreless innings. Parker Messick was almost as good on the other side, but a Jose Ramirez error gave the Rays an early lead they wouldn’t give back. Peralta pushed his fastball usage above 70% in the outing.
