The Guardians turned to Gavin Williams for Game 4. It's not off to a good start.

Gleyber Torres had a hard-hit single to lead off the first inning, and Juan Soto followed by launching a two-run home run to right-center field, giving the Yankees an almost-instant 2-0 lead.

Aaron Judge followed with a 115-mph groundout, which went for an out, but it isn't a great sign when the first three hitters all have exit velocities of more than 105 mph.

So much for the momentum from last night. Terry Francona used to say momentum in baseball only went as far as the next day's starting pitcher. The Yankees leaned into that in the first inning.
