Bring on the Yankees...
The Rays took another close one with Boston to sweep the Wild Card series and set a date with the New York Yankees in the ALDS.
Junior Caminero's 2-run homer in the 5th broke a 2-2 tie and they never looked back after that with series MVP
Brandon Lowe going deep again for insurance. Meanwhile the pitching was solid with
Pete Fairbanks once again walking the tightrope (a leadoff double in the 9th allowed to Alex Bregman) before closing it out.
Bailey Ober will start Game 1 at Yankee Stadium next.
All the other WC series are done, starting with the AL:
Detroit will head to Cleveland in the other ALDS.
In the NL it was do-or-die time:
The Cubs got a pair of homers from Kyle Tucker to vanquish their arch-rivals while the Dodgers found that it always helps to have Shohei Ohtani on your side as the two-way megastar homered and went 5 5 1 1 2 8 on the mound to make the difference against Philly. Chicago will face San Francisco while the Dodgers will take on Atlanta in the NLDS.
