Quick Summary

Freddy Peralta was named American League Championship Series MVP after helping the Tampa Bay Rays secure their spot in the World Series with a 7-3 victory over the Guardians in Game 6. Peralta allowed just one run in 12 innings pitched during the ALCS, including 5⅓ innings on Monday night when he received a standing ovation from fans. This success contrasts sharply with his earlier struggles with the Mets, where he posted a 4.99 ERA and was traded mid-season to Tampa Bay for three prospects. Peralta expressed amazement at his current achievement, crediting the Rays’ coaching staff for his turnaround.
