The Tampa Bay bullpen ran out of gas late Monday night. After seven innings of grind-it-out baseball in St. Petersburg, the Cleveland Guardians broke loose with five runs over the final two frames to take Game 1 of the ALCS, 7-3. The Rays drew first blood. With two outs in the opening frame, Junior Caminero and Jonny DeLuca ripped consecutive RBI knocks to put Tampa Bay up 2-0. Rays starter Drew Rasmussen kept that lead strong through five innings, punching out seven. Cleveland finally cracked Rasmussen in the sixth when Chase DeLauter jumped on a heater and launched an opposite-field solo shot over the right-center wall. Patrick Bailey pulled Cleveland even leading off the seventh, hooking a solo blast down the right-field line to end Rasmussen's night at 2-2. The Guardians kept the heat on in the eighth against Tyler Wells and Ian Seymour.

You would have been forgiven if you had turned this game off sometime around the middle of the second quarter. After all, both offenses were struggling to move the ball and the Baltimore Ravens were trotting out Tyler Huntley at quarterback in place of the injured Lamar Jackson . However, just when it looked like this Sunday Night Football game was going to turn into a snoozer, the scoreboard decided to show a little life, as the Ravens came back to win 30-23 in overtime. LAMAR JACKSON LEAVES GAME WITH INJURED ANKLE AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT SHOWS NO ONE FEARS THE TENNESSEE TITANS The Falcons took advantage of the aforementioned Huntley for much of the first half as the front seven specifically hounded the Ravens' offensive line to the tune of four sacks and numerous pressures. When it counted though, Huntley made clutch play after clutch play with both his arms and his legs, showing both off on the game-tying final drive in regulation. From there, a steady dose of Huntley and ageles...

President Donald Trump praised Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., as a "great guy" on Saturday, saying he would welcome the Pennsylvania Democrat into the Republican Party. Trump was asked by a reporter after stepping off Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews whether he had spoken to Fetterman — who has repeatedly broken with Democrats during the current session of Congress — about becoming a Republican and whether he would welcome such a switch. "I'd love to see it. I think he's great," Trump responded. "It's going to be hard for him to get the nomination as a Democrat, but I'd love to have him as a Republican," he continued. REPUBLICANS SAY THEY'D WELCOME FETTERMAN AS GOP EYES BIGGER SENATE MAJORITY Trump described Fetterman as a "great guy" with "magnificent parents," whom he said he had spoken with previously.

You'd think it would be hard to top winning a game by pushing your chips to the center of the table and putting everything on a two-point conversion attempt in overtime to win, like the Kentucky Wildcats did last week against South Carolina. Well, they found a way: they did it again, and this time it was against the No. 10 LSU Tigers . The Wildcats pulled off a shocker, beating the Bayou Bengals 35-34 in overtime. The two teams traded scoring drives all game long, with both quarterbacks, LSU's Sam Leavitt and Kentucky's Kenny Minchy, both having big nights, throwing for 275 and 246 yards respectively.
