RAYS: Tyler Glasnow (5-1, 4.08 regular season; 2-1, 4.66 postseason) took the loss in Game 4 of the AL Championship Series on Wednesday, allowing four runs over six innings, including two home runs, throwing 96 pitches, including 13 at 100 mph. Also got three double-play ground balls, his first since May 2019. Loss ended a streak of 11 straight games in which Rays had won when Glasnow started. He started clinching games in Wild Card and Division Series. Made three relief appearances vs. Dodgers when with Pirates.
DODGERS: LH Clayton Kershaw (6-2, 2.16; 2-1, 3.32) took the loss in Game 4 of NL Championship Series, allowing four runs over five innings after having his start pushed back two days because of back spasms. Won Game 2 in Wild Card Series over Brewers and Division Series over Padres. Three-time Cy Young Award winner’s career 11-12, 4.31 mark in 35 postseason games (28 starts) is a hot topic compared to his 175-75, 2.43 regular-season mark.
