FINAL: Guardians 3, Rays 2
Petey Halpin’s two-run homer — with a 25-foot-high bat flip to boot — put Cleveland ahead in the fifth, and four scoreless innings of Guardians relief capped an excellent Gavin Williams start. Cleveland leads the ALCS, 2-1. Great come-from-behind win.
If you missed Parker Messick's 10-pitch 1-2-3 inning, here it is.
Apologies to the Messick family for the mad disrespect by the @FOXSports broadcast, where the announcers spent the entire half-inning talking over his performance by interviewing 3 random NL pitchers.
Just watched #Guardians rookie starting pitcher Parker Messick walk all the way down the left field line and sign every autograph he could. This is what the game is truly about!
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
