Great pitching has defined the first two games of the series between the Cleveland Guardians and Toronto Blue Jays.
With two of the league's best pitchers on the mound for this afternoon's rubber game, that should once again be the case.
In Friday's opener, Cal Quantrill's gem helped lead Cleveland to an 8-0 win. Yesterday, it was more of a group effort for Toronto, with six pitchers combining to allow only six hits and four walks in a 2-1 win.
What is in store for today's matchup, which features Shane Bieber and Kevin Gausman? It is a game that both teams need, as Cleveland is ca ught up in a close race in the AL Central and Toronto is in the thick of a tight tussle in the AL wild-card race.
