Bryan Baker Retires Side in Ninth for Fourth Postseason Save

Tampa Bay Rays closer Bryan Baker earned his fourth save of the postseason by retiring all three batters he faced on eight pitches in the ninth inning of a 3-1 ALCS Game 2 win over Cleveland. Baker struck out one in the clean outing, extending his postseason run to four hitless innings with a 5:1 K:BB. The All-Star reliever, acquired in a 2025 trade with Baltimore, has now successfully converted 34 consecutive save chances.
