Story summary

On October 18, 2026, the Tampa Bay Rays tied the American League Championship Series (ALCS) at two games apiece by defeating the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 in Game 4. Despite rain postponing Friday's game to Saturday, Nick Martinez pitched 5⅓ innings for his first postseason win, allowing only one run and two hits. The Guardians' poor defense contributed significantly, with Chase DeLauter dropping a key ball that allowed two runs to score in the seventh inning. The series now shifts back to Cleveland for Game 5 on Sunday before moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, on Monday.
