CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Guardians have a chance to move within two wins of the World Series. The Tampa Bay Rays are trying to make sure they don’t leave home facing that reality.
The Guardians carry a 1-0 lead into Tuesday’s Game 2 of the American League Championship Series at Tropicana Field, riding a four-game winning streak that includes three victories in elimination games against the Chicago White Sox in the AL Division Series. One more win would put Cleveland in position to take a commanding advantage before the series shifts to Progressive Field for three consecutive contests.
