ALCS Game 4 live stream: How to watch online
Game 4 of the ALCS is Tuesday night, and the Cleveland Indians will have a shot at clinching a spot in the World Series.
Game 4 of the ALCS offers the first opportunity at a World Series clincher for the Cleveland Indians as they have raced out to a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Toronto Blue Jays are faced with the monumental task of climbing out of the biggest hole in sports, and will look to become only the second team in MLB history to come back from a 3-0 deficit. From here on out, every game is a must-win game for the Blue Jays.
Game 3 got off to an inauspicious start for the Indians. After scoring a run in the top of the first on a Mike Napoli double, the Tribe sent Trevor Bauer out to make his first start of the series. Bauer was originally scheduled to start Game 2, but required stitches after slicing his pinky finger open while repairing a drone. The right-hander lasted only 21 pitches before being removed with blood streaming down his hand. The Indians were put in scramble mode for the next eight innings.
Dan Otero, Jeff Manship, Zach McAllister, and Bryan Shaw managed to hold down the Jays for the next five-plus innings before giving way to the more heralded duo of Cody Allen and Andrew Miller. Otero ceded a solo home run to Michael Saunders in the second, while McAllister allowed an RBI grounder in the fifth.
Napoli was the star of the show for the Cleveland offense in Game 3, picking up some of the slack from Francisco Lindor. He doubled, homered, drew a walk, scored twice, and drove in two runs. Jason Kipnis also homered in the sixth inning, and Jose Ramirez had an RBI single to provide the final margin of 4-2.
Game 4 will match Corey Kluber of the Indians against Aaron Sanchez of the Blue Jays. Kluber is coming back on short rest after dominating in Game 1. Sanchez is pitching for the first time since Game 3 of the ALDS. Sanchez was roughed up by the Texas Rangers in his first playoff start, and must be better this time if the Blue Jays season is to continue.
