Guardians Face Yankees in ALCS

After defeating the Detroit Tigers in the ALDS, the Cleveland Guardians now face a 0-2 deficit against the New York Yankees in the ALCS, having lost the first two games 5-2 and 6-3. The Guardians are shifting the series to Progressive Field, where they hope to capitalize on their home advantage and improve their clutch hitting, which was crucial in the ALDS. To bolster their pitching, the Guardians have adjusted their roster, adding pitcher Pedro Avila while removing infielder Angel Martinez, making it a total of 13 pitchers for this best-of-seven series. Avila brings valuable experience after a solid regular season with a 3.25 ERA. Game 3 is set to take place at Progressive Field, and the Guardians aim to reverse their previous playoff misfortunes against the Yankees, who have historically dominated in past postseason matchups. The stakes are high as the Guardians look to make a comeback and prolong the series.
