The ALCS opened with a matchup of former Rays as the Angels sent Tyler Glasnow to the mound against the Twins and Joe Ryan, and it was a third former Ray who factored into the decision as Ryan Yarbrough took the loss for LA. Meanwhile Will Smith's 3-run homer in the 9th off Kevin Ginkel, who was nearly unhittable this year (52 saves, 115 whiffs in 75 innings, only 3 HR allowed and 4.0 WAR - a ridiculous number for a reliever) got the Dodgers level in the NLCS.
