The Cleveland Guardians are rolling.
After dropping the first two games of the American League Division Series, they bounced back to beat the Chicago White Sox three straight times to advance to the next round. In Game 1 of the AL Championship Series on Monday, Cleveland stayed hot, defeating the top-seeded Tampa Bay Rays in comeback fashion.
On Tuesday, the Guardians will try to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the ALCS. Can they head back to Cleveland for Game 3 just two wins away from a World Series appearance?
Stay tuned for lineups, game action and postgame analysis from St. Petersburg.
