Yankees Aim to Even ALDS vs. Rays in Game 2

The New York Yankees face elimination in Game 2 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) against the Tampa Bay Rays on October 5 at 8 p.m. ET. The Yankees are looking to rebound after a 1-0 loss in Game 1, where their offense was held to a single hit. The game will be broadcast on TBS.

Game 2 features a pitching matchup between the Yankees' Cam Schlittler (14-6, 1.95 ERA) and the Rays' Freddy Peralta (10-11, 4.42 ERA). Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed the team's determination to even the series before heading back to New York. "We're obviously always thrilled when we hand the ball to Cam and hopefully we can go out and put some [runs] on the board to support him…come out of here with a split and head back home," Boone said.
