CHICAGO — The Guardians have not just seized momentum with fewer than 50 games remaining in the season, they’re riding that momentum like a colossal wave heading right back into the American League playoff picture.
On the heels of a sweep in New York earlier this week, the Guardians got a big first inning Friday, jumping out to an early five-run lead and holding on for a 9-5 victory over the White Sox at Rate Field.
