Bring on Detroit...

The Rays ended up romping in this one, blowing out Boston 10-1 although it was closer than it looked. It was a 1-1 affair until the 5th when the Rays erupted for 4 runs on an RBI double from Kyle Teel, an RBI single from Mike Brown, and a 2-run homer from Fernando Tatis Jr (the first RBIs from their 3-4-5 hitters in this series), and then Boston brought the tying run to the plate in the 7th before Jose Alvarado got out of it. They then put it away in the 8th on Brailer Guerrero's grand slam, capping a great ALDS for the rookie after taking over for the injured Jackson Chourio and winning the series MVP in the process. Also worthy of mention is Garrett Lambert, who was truly outstanding in his start. It's back to the top of the rotation to start the ALCS with Ricky Tiedemann toeing the rubber at the Trop.

And in the deciding NLDS game:

It was upset city in the NL as both the wild card winners won in the NLDS with the Padres to face the Phillies. In fact the Rays are the only team to have a bye and continue on to the LCS.
