Former Guardians Player Sounds The Alarm After Game 1 Loss

Former Cleveland pitcher Jensen Lewis voiced serious concern following the Cleveland Guardians' 3-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of the ALDS. Lewis stated on social media that Chicago won the actual, managerial, and mental battles simultaneously, leaving the series in jeopardy for Cleveland after the shutout defeat at Progressive Field.

Jimmy Swartz writes that the White Sox controlled the game through a two-run homer by Murakami off Parker Messick and strong bullpen management by manager Will Venable. Cleveland struggled offensively, leaving the bases loaded twice, while third baseman José Ramírez acknowledged the team looked rusty following a week-long layoff.
