Cleveland Guardians vs. Tampa Bay Rays: AL wild-card game 2 preview

Game 1 of the AL wild-card matchup between the Rays and Guardians was everything we could have hoped for. A classic pitchers’ duel between two of the top aces in the game ended with the Guardians on top 2-1, taking a 1-0 series lead.

Cleveland retains home field advantage throughout the three-game wild-card series, and the Cleveland fans made themselves heard throughout the game, and maybe most of all when Rays manager Kevin Cash used a challenge to review whether Amed Rosario had touched second base on a home run by José Ramírez, which accounted for the only runs the Guardians scored.
