Tampa Bay downed Cleveland 7-3 at Tropicana Field, with Junior Caminero and Yandy Díaz going deep and Freddy Peralta delivering another composed start. Peralta had already thrown six scoreless innings against these Guardians earlier in October, and he kept the same steady grip on this one.

The scoreline is becoming this matchup's calling card. Cleveland won 7-3 at the same ballpark earlier this month, climbing out of an early two-run hole behind 14 hits. Tampa Bay then answered with a 7-3 road win last week — Díaz homered that night as well — and has now taken the last two meetings by that exact margin.

In between, the Rays also took a 3-1 meeting in which every run they scored was unearned. After dropping the first of these October collisions, Tampa Bay has now won three straight against Cleveland, and Díaz has homered in back-to-back victories. Momentum, and this quirky scoreline, now sit firmly with the Rays.
