MLB The Show ALCS podcast Charlie O:

#1 The Cleveland Guardians got great pitching from starter Gavin Williams shutting down a difficult Chicago White Sox line up going 5.2 innings, one hit, two walks and 12 strike outs Saturday night.

#2 The Guardians got some great help from their relievers who didn’t allow a run from Erik Sabrowski, Hunter Gaddis, and Cade Smith. They knew enough to keep guys off the bases and after struggling with the Sox in the previous games in the series they avoided any runs in a tight game.

#3 Sox reliever Grant Taylor pitched to Cleveland with the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth and battled and got the Sox out of the bottom of the eighth inning.

#4 Charlie talk about the job that the Guardians did to hold the White Sox to just three hits and get the shutout in a very narrow game 5?

#5 it’s Guardians-Tampa Bay Rays for game 1 of the ALCS at Tropicana Field Monday night. You know Guardians manager Stephen Vogt who got them this far talk about that but also how you see the series with the Guardians and Rays in the ALCS.
