The Briefing

  • Tampa Bay eliminated Cleveland 7-3 in Game 6 of the ALCS on Monday night, returning to the World Series for the first time since 2020 — with three Latino stars combining for both run-scoring and run-stopping heroics in the clincher.
  • Junior Caminero drilled his first career postseason homer — a two-run shot off the left-field foul pole in the seventh inning — after going homerless across his first 33 October at-bats; Yandy Díaz followed with a two-run blast in the eighth, delivering on a game-winning guarantee he had made just 24 hours earlier.
  • The Rays will face the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the 2026 World Series on Friday, October 23 at 8 p.m. ET on FOX and Fox Deportes from American Family Field — the first Fall Classic to pit two never-won franchises against each other since 1980.
