Rays load the bases in the FIRST INNING vs. Guardians in ALCS Game 5! | MLB Highlights (Full Inning)

Yandy Díaz supplies the opening power, driving a double off the center-field wall. Getting him the rest of the way home takes patience, a speedy teammate and a pitch Cleveland wants checked.

MLB's replay of the opening inning against the Guardians drew roughly 147,000 views in six hours, already several times the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos. It gives the buildup room to unfold rather than cutting straight to the scoring play.

Cleveland starter Parker Messick has chances to escape. He gets Jonathan Aranda to fly out and strikes out Junior Caminero with a changeup. But a Ryan Vilade walk and Chandler Simpson's infield single fill the bases, bringing Jonny DeLuca to the plate with two outs.

DeLuca takes ball four. Cleveland challenges the call through the Automated Balls and Strikes system, and the replay confirms the pitch missed the zone. Díaz comes home on a bases-loaded walk: an opening run without another ball being put in play.

The pitch review is also a talking point among viewers, alongside the Rays' Devil Ray jerseys. The inning ends with Liam Hicks grounding out, but Tampa Bay's afternoon ends better. The Rays win Game 5 in Cleveland and take a three-games-to-two series lead, leaving them one victory from a third World Series appearance.
