Drew Rasmussen allowed one run over seven innings, and the Rays beat the Guardians 3-1 on Sunday night in Game 5 of the ALCS. Tampa Bay now leads the series 3-2. ESPN's game story says it was his second win of this postseason. It also says the Rays' offense "kept on constant pressure" against Cleveland. Sportsnet's Shi Davidi described the offense as "just enough" support from a "high-pressure lineup".

The outlets agree on the shape of the game. Rasmussen stifled Cleveland, the Rays scraped together three runs, and the Guardians managed one. MLB.com's Adam Berry framed it as Rasmussen adding to a historic postseason. His colleague Keegan Matheson wrote that the Rays are "rejuvenated" and return home one win from the World Series. The feeds we have don't include the details behind "historic", so we won't put a number on it. Nor do they say how the three runs scored or who drove them in.

Rasmussen's regular season fits the role the reporting gives him. He went 16-5 with a 2.67 ERA and 174 strikeouts in 172.0 innings over 30 games. Sportsnet calls him the Rays' ace. His Game 5 start, seven innings with one run allowed, is in line with that season rate of run prevention.

The Rays won 98 games and finished first in the AL East at 98-64. Cleveland won the AL Central at 85-77, a 13-win gap over the regular season. In this series Cleveland has stayed close. Our game logs show the Rays losing 3-2 at Progressive Field, then winning 3-1 and 7-3 there. Our tables don't yet carry a separate Game 5 result, so the series score comes from the reporting. Cleveland's lone win in the games we have was by a single run.

Game 6 is Monday in St. Petersburg, a day later than the schedule might have suggested, according to Yahoo's Jack Baer. Stebbins' post, shared on r/baseball, says Cleveland faces a win-or-go-home game. A Rays win would send them to the World Series. A Guardians win would force a Game 7 the next day. None of the feeds we have name a Game 6 starter for either side.
