Rays beat Guardians 7-3 in ALCS Game 6 to reach World Series against Brewers

Summary

The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Monday night, sealing the series in six games and advancing to the World Series for the third time in the franchise's 29 seasons. Freddy Peralta pitched strongly in the start, and Junior Caminero and Yandy Diaz each hit a two-run homer. The Rays will face the Milwaukee Brewers, who are also seeking their first-ever World Series title, so the series will crown a first-time champion. A sellout crowd of 40,230 filled Tropicana Field, which needed major renovations after Hurricane Milton shredded its roof two years ago.
