In the MLB playoffs, the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cleveland Guardians 3 to 1 in ALCS Game 2.

The series is tied at one game apiece. In the NHL, Alexis Lafrenière scored twice as the New York Rangers topped the Tampa Bay Lightning 4 to 1, and Connor McDavid had four points in the Edmonton Oilers’ 4 to 1 win over the Los Angeles Kings. The Colorado Avalanche edged the Dallas Stars 3 to 2, while the Utah Mammoth held off the Toronto Maple Leafs 5 to 4. In NBA preseason play, the Raptors rolled past the New York Knicks 148 to 98.
Looking ahead, in the MLB playoffs, the Milwaukee Brewers visit the Los Angeles Dodgers for NLCS Game 3 with a 2-0 series lead. Shohei Ohtani remains in the Dodgers’ lineup despite going 3-for-24 without an extra-base hit or RBI this postseason, while Blake Snell faces Robert Gasser. Thursday brings ALCS Game 3, with the Rays visiting the Guardians, followed by NLCS Game 4 in Los Angeles. In the NHL, the Stars and Avalanche complete a back-to-back in Colorado, and the Montreal Canadiens visit the Washington Capitals. Off the court, the Boston Celtics agreed to a two-year extension worth just over 44 million dollars with Payton Pritchard, who averaged career highs of 17 points and 5.2 assists last season.
