MLB Wild Card top plays: Rays-Guardians in action

Day 2 of MLB wild card action is here, as the Cleveland Guardians look to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays in Saturday’s first matchup.

Following CLE-TB, Toronto will look to stay alive against Seattle (4:07 p.m. ET, ESPN), the Mets will aim to bounce back after a disappointing outing against San Diego (7:37 p.m. ET, ESPN), and Philadelphia will attempt to close the door on St. Louis (8:37 p.m. ET, ESPN).

Here are the top plays from Saturday’s wild-card matchups:

Rays vs. Guardians (Game 2, CLE leads 1-0)

Just nasty

Tyler Glasnow appeared to be in postseason form with this strikeout.

Pitching duel

Glasnow and Triston McKenzie are in rare form, quickly turning Saturday’s matchup into a classic playoff pitching duel. 

A round of applause

Kudos are in order for Glasnow, who was stellar through five innings.

McKenzie magic

Through six innings, McKenzie registered eight strikeouts and only allowed two hits.

In other words, he’s dealing.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Guardians had the bases loaded with no outs. But Jason Adam was able to strike out Jose Ramirez before Josh Naylor grounded out into a double play.
