The Tampa Bay Rays are off to a blazing start in the American League Championship Series, taking the first two games against the Houston Astros. With a victory tonight, the Rays will have their largest postseason series lead in franchise history. The last time they held this large of an advantage in the postseason was heading into game five of the 2008 ALCS, when they were up three games to one against the Boston Red Sox.
Going to the mound for the Rays in their first ‘road’ game of this series will be lefty Ryan Yarbrough; he’ll be opposed by right-handed pitcher, Jose Urquidy.
