CLEVELAND — Drew Rasmussen allowed one run over seven innings for his second postseason win, Tampa Bay’s offense kept on constant pressure and the Rays beat the Guardians, 3-1, Sunday night to take a 3-2 lead in the AL Championship Series. The Rays will try to capture their third AL pennant and first since 2020 on Monday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Since the ALCS expanded to seven games in 1985, road teams winning Game 5 for a 3-2 lead have won the series four of five times. Game 7 if needed would be Tuesday, and the World Series starts Friday at NL champion Milwaukee. Cleveland has not won an ALCS when trailing 3-2. Tampa Bay scored single runs in each of the first three innings, the first two off Parker Messick and the third against Tim Herrin. Rasmussen shut down the Guardians’ offense after allowing two runs over six innings in the opener. After Chase DeLauter’s two-out single in the first, the 31-year-old righthander retired nine straight batters and allowed only one other base runner through the sixth.

The Chiefs hosted the 0-5 Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and the game pretty much went as expected. LA's hapless offense wasn't able to move the ball with any consistency and the Chiefs' offense imposed their will, outside two turnovers.

A man and two dogs are dead, and another person is seriously injured after a house caught fire in Stark, N. H., early Sunday morning, firefighters said. Just before 1:30 a.m., an adult female resident of 37 Montgomery Rd. reported a fire at the home to a neighbor, who called 911, State Fire Marshal Sean Toomey and Stark Fire Chief Colin Wentworth said in a statement. Dispatchers learned one person was still inside the home as flames spread, the statement said. A neighbor attempted to enter the burning home to rescue the remaining occupant, an adult man, but was unable to do so due to the growing fire. When firefighters arrived a few minutes later, “the house was fully involved, with flames coming out of the doors and windows,” the statement said. Firefighters later reported they were unable to immediately enter the home due to the worsening conditions, the statement said. After the fire was brought under control around 4:30 a.m., the adult man and two dogs were found dead inside the home, the statement said. The identity of the deceased man is being withheld pending an autopsy scheduled for Monday.

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Hundreds of people gathered Saturday for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Northern Nevada at the Sparks Marina. The event is the Alzheimer’s Association’s largest annual fundraiser, supporting local care and support services, educational programs and research. Event organizers said they are building a future with improved care, stronger support and, ultimately, a world without Alzheimer’s.

They have raised $314,000 so far. “In Nevada, we have over 55,000 people that have a formal diagnosis of dementia. So, we need to be out there raising funds for research, helping these families and also we have over 136,000 unpaid caregivers in just Nevada. So, we need to support those families and help them out any way we can,” said Lisa Rains, Development Manager with the Alzheimer’s Association of Northern California and Nevada. Copyright 2026 KOLO.
