Only the American League Championship Series remains — and fans had to wait an extra day for Game 4.
After the Milwaukee Brewers swept the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, it’s just the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays left playing for the chance to face Milwaukee in the World Series.
Game 4, originally scheduled for Friday night, is being played Saturday due to rain in Cleveland — with Game 5 to follow Sunday (which was originally a travel day).
Cleveland took a 2-1 lead in the ALCS with a win in Game 3 in front of its home crowd at Progressive Field. Now, the Guardians are looking to add to that lead.
Stay tuned for game action and postgame analysis from ALCS Game 4.

No one’s catching Caminero this time — his double makes it 2-1 Rays
JUNIOR CAMINERO 🔥

Junior Caminero hit a ball 110 mph at 29 degrees in the fourth inning — and it was not a home run. Since that was not good enough, he hit one at 110 and 8 degrees for a go-ahead double in the sixth inning. The Rays lead, 2-1, and have runners on second and third with no outs.
