Guardians go with best stuff

CLEVELAND (AP) — Parker Messick will be the first Cleveland rookie pitcher to start in a postseason game since 2016 when the Guardians left-hander takes the mound for Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Chicago White Sox at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Thomas Cromwell was the Lord Chancellor of England for much of the reign of King Henry VIII. He engineered the convictions and executions of many whom Henry wanted out of the way, including his two predecessors in office -- one of whom was St. Thomas More -- and even the king's second wife, Queen Anne.

Guardians, White Sox renew rivalry

CLEVELAND (AP) — Stephen Vogt and Will Venable don't need to pore over extra scouting reports as the Cleveland Guardians get set to host the Chicago White Sox in Saturday's Game 1 of the AL Division Series.

It's the third straight year the Guardians will open the postseason against a division ...
