Story summary

In Game 2 of the ALCS on October 14, 2026, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-1, evening the series at 1-1. Rookie left-hander Parker Messick struggled as José Ramírez made a critical error in the fourth inning when he failed to cover third base and misplayed a grounder, leading to three unearned runs for the Rays. Freddy Peralta pitched six innings for Tampa Bay, allowing only four hits while striking out five batters. Mets owner Steve Cohen was reportedly at Tropicana Field to watch Peralta's performance; the pitcher expressed surprise but noted his positive relationship with Cohen from when he played for the Mets earlier in 2026.
