GAME PREVIEW
Yankees look to hold off elimination against RaysA few weeks after Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash described his relievers as a "stable of arms" that throw 98 mph, the Rays began sporting blue T-shirts that read: "The Stable -- Throwing 98 since '98." The Rays, who also possess a stable of potent hitters, can close out the New York Yankees on Thursday in Game 4 of the American League Division Series at San Diego.Cash made his infamous remark Sept. 1 after Aroldis Chapman threw a 101 mph fastball up and in at Michael Brosseau's head in New York. Three weeks later, the Rays clinched the AL East at Citi Field and wore blue T-shirts with the words.The Rays will use side-arming right-hander Ryan Thompson as their opener Thursday, and it is possible left-hander Ryan Yarbrough will be their bulk guy. New York will counter with Jordan Montgomery with the hopes of getting to use Gerrit Cole in Game 5.The Rays can secure their second appearance in the American League Championship Series and first since getting to the World Series in 2008 thanks to an offense that has produced 15 runs, 21 hits and seven homers in the past two games, following a 9-3 loss in the opener."This is Rays baseball at its finest," Rays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier said. "We sit here and we talk about never depending on one person each and every night. We have our guys, don't get me wrong, but you never know who's going to be the hero or who's going to step up." Tampa Bay hit four homers in Game 2 and followed it up by getting homers from Kiermaier, rookie Randy Arozarena and Michael Perez in an 8-4 win Wednesday. Of those hitters, nobody is hotter than Arozarena, who is 8-for-12 (.667) with three homers, 17 total bases and a 2.109 OPS in the series."He's incredible," Kiermaier said. "He's very unique in so many ways. Everyone loves him. He's the man. What he's doing is incredible." The Yankees have scored 40 runs in their six postseason games, and Giancarlo Stanton has six homers and 13 RBIs in the postseason, but in the ALDS, Aaron Judge is 2-for-14, Luke Voit is 1-for-11 and Gio Urshela is 2-for-12."We know what we need to do," Stanton said. "It's going to be a tough battle, but we know there's no other option. We know what's in front of us." The Yankees are facing a 2-1 deficit in the division series for the ninth time since 1995. They overcame that deficit twice -- in 2001 against the Oakland A's and in 2017 against the Cleveland Indians, when they lost the first two games."We have a great opportunity ahead of us," New York manager Aaron Boone said. "We're still in control of things. We just have to get a W and force this to a Game 5." Montgomery, who last pitched Sept. 24, will make his postseason debut after he went 2-3 with a 5.11 ERA in 10 regular-season starts. Montgomery allowed seven runs over his last two starts and also gave up four runs in two-thirds of an inning against Tampa Bay on Sept. 2, including homers by Arozarena and Brosseau.Montgomery's only professional postseason experience was three starts in 2016 for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre. He had a 2.84 in those outings and helped his team win the Triple-A National Championship over El Paso. Catcher Kyle Higashioka is optimistic about Montgomery because of that experience."I know nothing compares to the major leagues, but when we were together in 2016 in the minor leagues and we won the national championship, and I know for a fact his game definitely elevated when it really counted, so I'm expecting some good stuff from Monty (Thursday)," Higashioka said.Thompson is making his third appearance of the postseason, having yielded no runs in 3 1/3 innings. He worked around three hits in two innings Monday against the Yankees.After Thompson, Yarbrough could see extended work in hopes of getting the ball to high-leverage relievers Pete Fairbanks and Nick Anderson, who did not pitch Wednesday.--Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Voit, Torres homer as Yankees beat Rays 5-1 to force Game 5SAN DIEGO Luke Voit and Gleyber Torres hit impressive home runs, Jordan Montgomery and three relievers combined on a three-hitter and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 Thursday night to force a deciding fifth game in their AL Division Series.The Yankees bounced back from two straight losses against their AL East rivals to set up an expected showdown between aces Gerrit Cole of New York and Tyler Glasnow of Tampa Bay on Friday night.Cole, backed by four home runs, beat Snell 9-3 in the series opener Monday and will be pitching on short rest for the first time in his big league career. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the decision was made when he passed his ace Thursday and made eye contact.''Hey, give me the ball,'' he remembered Cole saying.Cole said he took inspiration from watching CC Sabathia, Justin Verlander and other past aces carry teams on short rest.''When the lights turn on, it doesn't matter if it's three, four, five, six, seven days,'' Cole said. ''?t's a special opportunity.Glasnow will be pitching on two days' rest after throwing 93 pitches.The Game 5 winner will remain in San Diego to face the Houston Astros in the AL Championship Series starting Sunday night.The Yankees are trying to reach the ALCS for the third time in four seasons following eliminations by the Astros at that stage in 2017 and last season. The Rays are trying to advance to the ALCS for the first time since 2008, when they made it to their only World Series.Wearing their home pinstripes for a second straight night at neutral site Petco Park, the Yankees lived up to their Bronx Bombers nickname.Voit, who led the majors with 22 homers in the pandemic-shortened season, led off the second by driving a 1-0 pitch from Rays opener Ryan Thompson into the second deck in left field for his first career postseason shot.Torres one-upped his teammate when he deposited a two-run homer onto the balcony on the fourth floor of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse in the left-field corner, the centerpiece of the downtown ballpark. That came on the first pitch he saw from Ryan Yarbrough and put the Yankees ahead 4-1 with one out in the sixth.It was Torres' first this postseason and fifth of his career, tying Mickey Mantle for the most playoff homers for a Yankees player 23 or younger.The only younger Yankees player to homer while facing postseason elimination was 20-year-old Mantle, in both Games 6 and 7 of the 1952 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.Torres' homer was the 18th of the series, with each team hitting nine.New York kept Randy Arozarena in the ballpark after the 25-year-old Cuban homered in each of the first three games. Likewise, the Rays ended Giancarlo Stanton's franchise-record run of homering in five straight games but he did double. Stanton hit four homers in the first three games of this series and had six total in the first five postseason games.Chad Green, Zack Britton and Aroldis Chapman combined for five hitless innings of relief, retiring 15 of the last 16 batters. Green pitched two perfect innings for the win, and Chapman got four outs for his first save of this postseason. He struck out Arozarena on a 101 mph sinker to end the eighth.Montgomery went four innings in his first appearance since Sept. 24, holding the Rays to one run and three hits while striking out four and walking three. He struck out Arozarena in the first and retired the breakout star on a grounder in the fourth.Tampa Bay loaded the bases in the third but got just one run, on Brandon Lowe's fielder's choice.It was a much better start than Montgomery had against the Rays at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 2, when he was pulled after allowing four runs and five hits on 39 pitches, and getting only two outs.Thompson took the loss. He was chased after allowing DJ LeMahieu's sacrifice fly for the second out of the second.HIGGY'S POPKyle Higashioka went 2 for 4 in place of slumping catcher Gary Sanchez, who was benched for the third time in four games. Higashioka will start again Friday to catch Cole.TRAINER'S ROOMRays: RHP Oliver Drake was replaced on the ALDS roster by RHP Trevor Richards just hours before Game 4 due to what manager Kevin Cash said the team believes is a flexor strain. Drake will be ineligible to return if the Rays advance to the ALCS but would be eligible to return if they reach the World Series.UP NEXTYankees: Cole is 2-0 in the postseason. The Yankees will be the visiting team.Rays: Glasnow won Game 2, allowing four runs in five innings.
