Guardians News: Back Home for Game Five

The Cleveland Guardians return home for Game Five of the ALDS after sweeping the Chicago White Sox in the first two games of the series, looking to turn their home-field struggles around. Jose Ramirez has silenced critics with a dominant postseason performance, posting a 185 wRC+ in the series and even engaging with a hostile White Sox crowd.

Meanwhile, the Guardians' bullpen remains a focal point, with manager Matt Festa facing scrutiny for his late-game decisions, including a controversial move with a five-run lead. Pitching ace Sean Burke will test Cleveland’s offense, while relievers like Gavin Williams and Zack Meisel aim to keep the Guardians’ momentum alive.

The stakes couldn’t be higher as the series shifts to Progressive Field on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
