With their Hispanic power, the Rays even the series against the Guardians

The Hispanic offense of the Tampa Bay Rays came alive on Saturday and led the 7-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, tying the series in the Major League Baseball playoffs.

The Rays and Guardians are tied 2-2 in the American League Championship Series, which is a best-of-seven series and will continue with Game 5 on Sunday in Cleveland, Ohio.

Sunday was supposed to be a day off in this series, but rain in Cleveland led to the postponement of Friday's scheduled game.

The break did wonders for Mexico's Jonathan Aranda, the Dominican Republic's Junior Caminero and Cuba's Yandy Díaz, the Rays' top hitters, who led Tampa's offensive onslaught at Progressive Field.

The trio, which had been quiet in the first three games, combined for one home run, four runs scored, five RBIs and six hits.

Díaz, a former Guardians player, sealed the victory with a two-run home run in the final inning, and Caminero put his finger to his lips to silence the 33,000 Cleveland fans.

"It's part of the game, enjoying the moment. I told them to calm down, that we're here," said the 23-year-old Dominican slugger.

Led by its "Big 3," Tampa pulled ahead on the scoreboard after Cleveland's opening run and reignited its dream of winning its first-ever title.

The Florida franchise, which lost in the 2008 and 2020 World Series, is one of five Major League Baseball teams that has never won a championship.

The Rays or Guardians will battle for the title in the World Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, who on Thursday knocked the Los Angeles Dodgers out of the National League by completing a 4-0 sweep.
