The Tampa Bay Rays offense has been absent in the ALCS but their bats woke up to take Game 4 from the Cleveland Guardians.
Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash wasn't concerned about the struggles of his top four hitters through the first three games of the AL Championship Series against the Cleveland Guardians. Cash's confidence in the top of the lineup paid off Saturday night as the Rays evened the series at 2-2.
It is now guaranteed that the ALCS will return to St. Petersburg, Florida, for Game 6 on Monday. Game 5 will be played Sunday in Cleveland.
