Gavin Williams OVERPOWERS Toronto Blue Jays, Cleveland Guardians Slug To Positive Run Differential

Gavin Williams came up with his best start of the year for the Cleveland Guardians, following his worst start. That and the insurance company of Angel Genao and Angel Martinez gave the Guardians a positive run differential for the first time since June 7. Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down key turning points, from Angel Martínez’s surprising home run surge and Angel Genao's clutch plays to bullpen reliability and the challenge of facing Dylan Cease next. We also look at the Guardians’ hot September track record, and the wild story of a international prospect that faked his death.
