Guardians walk off Rays in 15th inning to complete sweep, advance to ALDS vs. Yankees

The Cleveland Guardians have advanced to the American League Division Series after a 1-0 walk-off win against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 2 of their best-of-three Wild Card series.

The series-clinching home run was provided by outfielder Oscar Gonzalez in the bottom of the 15th inning.

The two teams set a major-league post-season record by playing 14 scoreless innings and also set a playoff record with a combined 39 strikeouts.

Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie put forth a solid outing, throwing six scoreless innings, giving up two hits and striking out eight batters.

The Guardians will now face the American League East division winner New York Yankees in the next round.

More to come.
