Yesterday was as good a day of playoff baseball as Rays fans could ask for, short of, you know, the Rays being in the playoffs. Both the Yankees and the Red Sox got dominated by the better teams they’re up against.
You can read about Jose Altuve hitting three home runs—and reminding the world that not everything is about Aaron Judge—en route to an 8-2 Astros victory, or you can read about the Indians not starting their ace in game one, but still cruising to a 4-0 victory over the Yankees with a dominating performance from Trevor Bauer.
