Major League Baseball has already started with a roar, with a couple of teams making it to the ALDS. Last night’s game between the Cleveland Guardians and the Tampa Bay Rays was long-lasting. The postseason’s first marathon game is over. Also, both teams have managed to make some wild statistics that will be written down in the history of baseball.

A game that was supposed to last nine innings went scoreless till the end of the fifteenth. Also, a present member of the Guardians, the outfielder Oscar Gonzalez, homered against the past Guardians player, Corey Kluber, to make a run and win the game with it. As both the teams managed to pull off wild stats, MLB fans are congratulating the Guardians. Meanwhile, Yankees fans are welcoming them to play in the ALDS.

Cleveland Guardians and Rays managed to pull off four wild stats

With both teams making it to the fifteenth inning, the last night’s game is now the longest-ever postseason game in the history of both franchises. Both the teams were scoreless till the moment Oscar Gonzalez came and homered. Not only this, another postseason record for combined strikeouts got made. In total, there were 39 strikeouts, out of which, Guardians were responsible for 20 of them. 

The pitchers combined for a 0.31 ERA while two players joined the trio, which has managed to get the platinum sombreros. Having a platinum sombrero means a pitcher has five strikeouts in a game. That trio includes George Pipgras (1932), Reggie Sanders (1995), and Harrison Bader (2020). Whereas, the two pitchers who joined this trio are Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez and Rays outfielder Jose Siri.
