Cleveland Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter hit a solo home run during Monday's American League Championship Series opener, helping the Guardians narrow their deficit against the Tampa Bay Rays, according to ESPN's live coverage of the day's postseason action.
The home run came as part of a day of playoff baseball that also featured National League Championship Series Game 2 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers, with ESPN tracking lineups, in-game analysis and key moments across both series as they unfolded.
Postseason stakes rising
Both series are still in their early stages, with every game carrying added weight as teams look to build an advantage before the matchups shift venues. A solo home run in a tight postseason game can swing momentum, giving a trailing team a lift even when it does not immediately erase a deficit on the scoreboard.
Further details on the final outcome of the Guardians-Rays opener, including the eventual score and any other key plays, were part of ESPN's broader live coverage of the night's games.
