Championship Series, Game #1 - Tampa Bay 2, Toronto 1
The opening game of the Championship Series was a tight pitcher’s duel between Tampa Bay’s Shane McClanahan and Toronto’s Jose Berrios. Tampa Bay struck first when, in the bottom of the 2nd when Wander Franco walked and then scored all the way from first on a Joey Wendle double. Tampa Bay added another run when Nelson Cruz led off the bottom of the 4th with a homer off of Berrios. In the top of the 5th, Toronto made it a 1-run game when Randal Grichuk reached second when Tampa Bay rightfielder Brett Phillips committed an error on Girchuk’s flyball, and Grichuk later scored on a single by Reese McGuire. That made the score 2-1 in favor of Tampa Bay, and neither team scored the rest of the way. In the top of the 9th Tampa Bay reliever Collin McHugh (who had entered the game in the 6th inning) was still on the hill. McHugh struck out Grichuk, but then gave up a single to pinch-hitter Santiago Espinal. Andrew Kittredge took over for McHugh, getting Danny Jansen to bounce into a game-ending double play. Facing just 1 batter, Kittredge got the save. McClanahan (8 strikeouts and 2 hits in 5+ innings) got the win, and Berrios got the loss. The Game #2 pitching matchup will be Robbie Ray for Toronto and Michael Wacha for Tampa Bay. (The Tampa Bay CM was created by Jim Holland, and the Toronto CM was created by Rob Tomlinson.)
