Welp:
This means Jack Leiter is bumped up to Game 3, and Blake Money will get a start after all in Game 4, if necessary.
It was the full Alec Sachais experience at the Trop in Game 2, as he showed his brilliance with 0 walks and 12 Ks in 6 innings, but gave up a pair of solo homers. Those two put the Rays behind for a short while, but Nate Clark equalized with a longball in the 6th and then they took it to Toronto in the 7th on a Connor Kirkley homer followed by a rally that culminated in Clark's 2-run single. The bullpen was excellent again, with Jose Alvarado going 1 2/3 to get the win and Daniel Espino striking out all 4 Jays he faced for the save. We now head for Toronto in 2 days with a chance to sweep behind our hottest pitcher, Jack Leiter.
And the Tigers finally beat the Rangers in the playoffs, evening their series at 1. And they got the better of Texas's ace, Wil Diaz.
