Now they are down to two chances to eliminate the Dodgers and go to the World Series, for the first time since losing to the Yankees in 1999 World Series. For the Dodgers, they brought the bats last night, and are now happy that they got their ace Walker Buehler starting for this afternoon’s game.

Tonight, it is Game 5 of American League Division Series, between New York Yankees taking on Tampa Bay Rays. Yankees won Game 1 and Game 4, while Rays took games 2 & 3.
Yankees goal in this series was to win the Gerrit Cole games and win at least one the games he did not start. And that game was Game 4 Last Night. They were able win due to the homers by Luke Voit and Gleyber Torres. And they got great pitching by Montgomery, Green, Britton, and Chapman holding Rays to just one run.

After losing Game 1, Rays have taken advantage of Yankees Skipper Aaron Boone’s roll of the dice in Game 2, to take a 2-1 series lead. The gamble of using an opener in Game 2 backfired on the Bronx Bombers, as J.A. Happ got shelled for 4 earned runs as the featured pitcher. The Rays were able to get to Masahiro Tanaka in Game 3 and is one win away from eliminating one of the hated rivals. For the Yankees, they were looking champions in ALWCS vs. Indians and in Game 1. But it appears in the last two games that Rays have figured out how to withstand the constant pressure New York’s Lineup induces. Tonight’s Opening/Starting Pitching Matchup will be interesting. As Rays will open with reliever, submarine, right-hander Ryan Thompson. While the Yankees will throw left-handed starter Jordan Montgomery.
