Transcript
- The Rays are going to the World Series! Here's your Sports Reset for Tuesday October 20th. In the MLB playoffs, the Tampa Bay Rays closed out the ALCS in six games, eliminating the Cleveland Guardians 7 to 3 and advancing to face the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series. Junior Caminero broke it open with a two-run homer in the seventh, Yandy Díaz added another two-run shot in the eighth, and Freddy Peralta allowed one run over five and a third innings. In the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the San Jose Sharks 3 to 1 as Gavin McKenna scored the third-period winner and Auston Matthews produced three points. Matvei Michkov scored twice as the Philadelphia Flyers edged the Colorado Avalanche 3 to 2. The New York Rangers beat the Anaheim Ducks 5 to 2, while the Utah Mammoth held off the Pittsburgh Penguins 5 to 4. In the NFL, Christian McCaffrey ran for two touchdowns and the San Francisco 49ers made two late defensive stops to beat the Washington Commanders 23 to 17 and reach 6-and-0. Looking ahead, the NHL schedule sends the Maple Leafs to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, one night after McKenna’s first NHL power-play goal ended Toronto’s three-game skid. The Sharks continue their back-to-back against the Montreal Canadiens, while the Winnipeg Jets visit the St. Louis Blues. The Edmonton Oilers host the Minnesota Wild in a meeting of fast-starting Western teams, with Connor McDavid coming off a five-point performance and his best eight-game start. The defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes visit the Vancouver Canucks, where Elias Pettersson carries a point-per-game pace into the opener of a three-game homestand. In MLB, World Series Game 1 between the Rays and Brewers arrives Friday. Beyond the scoreboard, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the NFL season after testing revealed blood clots in his lungs, though his long-term prognosis is good.
