GuarInddians scored thrice before their first out, five times in the 1st inning, and cruised (or Cruzed if you hablo Espanol) to a 7-0 white-washing of the hottest team in the AL coming down the stretch.

Game 2: Presumptive AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal pitched 7 scoreless for the Tigers…who were also held scoreless.

Tigers hit a 3 run homer off Clase (47 Saves,
0.61 ERA this year) in the top of the 9th.

Dang

Back to back shutouts for the Tigers gives them a 2 games to one lead.


So among the division winners this year.
- Houston is gone, Milwaukee is gone
- and the Dodgers, Guardians, and Phillies are all on the brink

The only division king not on the brink are the Yanx and they could be before the night is over.
Good thing all those teams had home field advantage, eh?
(Combined 4-7 so far)

Go Cleveland!

I so want a Mets/Guardians WS

[Frayed Knot]

As noted in another thread, the time of Saturday's deciding game in Cleveland has been moved up to 1 PM.

CY front runner (read: Lock) Tarik Skubal takes the mound for the upstart Tigers. But if he wins that means he may only get one start in the ALCS vs the Yanx which, y'know, will suck.
So go In Guardians!

Geez, thank you!

I’ll let my son know!

Guardians leading 5-2 in the 7th inning.

7-3 is your final. The Tigers magical run comes to an end.

You’re a team of destiny until suddenly you’re not. Mets take note.

So what would be worse for Yankee fans: Losing to Cleveland and not even making it to the WS or winning the pennant and then losing to the Mets?
