Tampa Bay Rays ace Freddy Peralta reached a postseason milestone Tuesday night, completing six innings in a playoff start for the first time in his career during the Rays’ 3-1 ALCS Game 2 win over the Cleveland Guardians.
Peralta scattered four hits and two walks while striking out six across 99 pitches at Tropicana Field. The 30-year-old retired Cleveland in order in the sixth and finished his night by striking out Petey Halpin. MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo underscored the career first on X, formerly Twitter, noting the flame-throwing right-hander’s recent dominant postseason run.
“Freddy Peralta just completed six innings in a playoff game for the first time in his career. He has an 0.84 ERA in the 2026 postseason and an 0.81 ERA over his last seven starts with the Rays, regular season included.”
