The Cleveland Guardians are two wins away from the World Series.
Cleveland took a 2-1 lead over the top-seeded Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Championship Series on Thursday afternoon behind another fantastic Gavin Williams start combined with a shutdown bullpen performance.
Game 4 is scheduled for Friday at 6 p.m. ET, but could still be moved if the NLCS finishes on Thursday night.
The ALCS is a best-of-seven series that follows a 2-3-2 setup, which means Game 4 and Game 5 will take place in Cleveland. If the series requires a Game 6 or a Game 7, the series will return to Tampa Bay.
