The Rays cash in on Guardians errors to win Game 4 7-3 and tie the ALCS at two games apiece
Jonathan Aranda broke out of a slump and Nick Martinez earned his first postseason win as Tampa Bay beat Cleveland 7-3 to tie the ALCS 2-2.
The AL Championship Series is all square.
The Tampa Bay Rays took advantage of a sloppy night for the Cleveland Guardians' defense and won 7-3 Saturday night in Cleveland to even the best-of-seven series at 2-2.
The seventh inning swings it
Cleveland led 1-0 after a Chase DeLauter RBI single in the first. Tampa Bay went ahead 2-1 in the sixth when Junior Caminero lined a double off the left-field wall against Daniel Espino.
The Rays broke it open with three runs in the seventh. Richie Palacios and Taylor Walls singled and moved up on a double steal. Jonathan Aranda then lined a single past a diving Travis Bazzana into right field.
Palacios scored and the ball skipped under DeLauter's glove, which let Walls come all the way around from second. Aranda raced to third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Chandler Simpson.
Aranda wakes up
Aranda finished with three hits and two RBIs after going 0 for 10 in the first three games of the series. Yandy Diaz added two hits and two RBIs, including a two-run homer in the ninth off Matt Festa.
Bazzana hit his first career postseason home run for Cleveland, but he also made a fielding error at second base.
Martinez steadies the Rays
Nick Martinez pitched 5 1/3 innings on a 46-degree night and allowed one run on two hits. He retired 10 straight batters at one point and picked up his first career postseason win.
No rest before Game 5
Friday's game was rained out, so there is no travel day left in the series. Game 5 is Sunday in Cleveland before the series shifts to St. Petersburg, Florida, on Monday.
