Peralta shines as Rays seize on Ramírez error to level ALCS against Guardians
(opens the publisher’s site)Freddy Peralta's six scoreless innings and a Jose Ramirez error carried the Tampa Bay Rays to a 3-1 Game 2 victory, evening the ALCS at one game apiece.
- The Rays defeated the Guardians 3-1 on Tuesday night, tying the best-of-seven American League Championship Series at 1-1.
- Peralta struck out six over six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks while throwing a career-high 99.4 mph fastball.
- Ramirez failed to cover third base and then misplayed a grounder in the fourth inning, producing three unearned runs against starter Parker Messick.
- Ramirez said the ball "bounced right on the edge between the dirt and the turf," and manager Stephen Vogt cited "sloppy plays in the field that we need to clean up."
- Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Thursday night in Cleveland.
