Quick Summary

Freddy Peralta, a former New York Mets pitcher now playing for the Tampa Bay Rays, pitched six scoreless innings in Game 2 of the ALCS on Tuesday against the Guardians, helping his team tie the series at one game each. Steve Cohen, the owner of the Mets who traded Peralta earlier this year, was unexpectedly present at Tropicana Field to watch Peralta’s performance. Despite an underwhelming stint with the Mets where he posted a 5-9 record and a 4.99 ERA in 22 starts, Peralta has been successful with the Rays since August, recording a 5-2 record and a 3.25 ERA during the regular season.

Story summary

In Game 2 of the ALCS on October 14, 2026, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-1, evening the series at 1-1. Rookie left-hander Parker Messick struggled as José Ramírez made a critical error in the fourth inning when he failed to cover third base and misplayed a grounder, leading to three unearned runs for the Rays. Freddy Peralta pitched six innings for Tampa Bay, allowing only four hits while striking out five batters. Mets owner Steve Cohen was reportedly at Tropicana Field to watch Peralta's performance; the pitcher expressed surprise but noted his positive relationship with Cohen from when he played for the Mets earlier in 2026.
