What happened: Petey Halpin hit a two-run homer in ALCS Game 3 to give Cleveland a 3-2 lead. The drive followed a Bailey infield single with no outs in the fifth inning, flipping a one-run deficit into a one-run advantage.

Why it matters: The swing swung a tied-series postseason game in one at-bat, putting late-inning pressure on the Rays bullpen. For a Cleveland lineup short on power, a go-ahead homer from the bottom of the order reshapes Game 3 tactics and pitching matchups. It also extends the impact of Halpin's 2-run homer beyond one swing into series momentum.

What to watch: Watch whether Cleveland protects the one-run lead through the middle innings and how Tampa Bay matches up against the heart of the order late.
