CLEVELAND -- The Gavin Williams that Stephen Vogt first met after taking over as the Guardians’ manager two years ago was quiet and reserved off the field. On the field, he was still developing into the pitcher we know him as today. There was no way, Vogt says, that Williams

CLEVELAND -- At 9:03 p.m. ET on Saturday night, the “Jo-sé!, Jo-sé!, Jo-sé!, Jo-sé!” chants echoed across Progressive Field. At 9:04, pandemonium ensued. That’s all it took for José Ramírez to massively swing what was a tight pitchers' duel to that point in his club’s favor. Less than a minute

CLEVELAND -- It was just a single pitch, and it went exactly where White Sox right-hander Sean Burke wanted it to go. But in the critical fourth inning of the deciding Game 5 of the American League Division Series, Burke served up a game-winning two-run homer to Guardians superstar José

With the Guardians' victory over the White Sox to cap an epic American League Division Series comeback, there have been 43 winner-take-all Game 5s in Division Series history since the best-of-five series was added to the postseason docket in 1995, when MLB expanded to allow a Wild Card team from

CLEVELAND -- Gavin Williams walked by Guardians manager Stephen Vogt’s office on Thursday night with a message.

Home field has been the definitional counter-indicator in this American League Divisional Series between the White Sox and Guardians. The White Sox won two in Cleveland, and then the Guardians won two in Chicago. So who knows what’s going to happen Saturday night’s Game 5 in Cleveland? That’s the fun

CHICAGO -- The White Sox had the chance to close out the American League Division Series two different times in front of their frenzied home fans at Rate Field, but they couldn’t get it done. And so, the big question becomes -- what now? The team already provided one answer:

CHICAGO -- The big moment seems to find Patrick Bailey. The fact he’d even be in one Thursday night seemed improbable due to the fact that the catcher wasn’t in the starting lineup for Game 4 of the American League Division Series at Rate Field.

CHICAGO -- When the Guardians arrived here this week, facing postseason elimination against the White Sox in the American League Division Series, they knew what awaited them at Rate Field. Cleveland was up against a team whose fanbase had waited a half-decade to witness postseason baseball. The Guardians were entering

CHICAGO -- Enough is enough. You can officially put the ‘Can José Ramírez perform in the playoffs?’ narrative to rest.

The Tampa Bay Rays finished off a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees on Wednesday night, clinching the third trip to the American League Championship Series in franchise history. And now they just get to kick back and wait to see who will be flying south to Florida for

CHICAGO -- Foster Griffin has pitched around the world and seen most everything baseball can offer since his first-round MLB Draft selection in 2014. But Griffin had never pitched in the situation he found himself in on Wednesday.
