- Brosseau’s eighth-inning homer lifts Rays in 2-1 win
- Tampa Bay advance to ALCS for first time since 2008
- Rayswill face Astros in starting Sunday in San Diego
Mike Brosseau homered off Aroldis Chapman with one out in the eighth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees 2-1 Friday night to reach the AL Championship Series for the first time in 12 seasons.
The first career postseason homer for the 26-year-old utilityman came after a 10-pitch at-bat against the Yankees’ vaunted, hard-throwing closer, who entered the game in the seventh inning. Brosseau drove a 100mph fastball into the left field seats at Petco Park for just the third hit for the Rays.
