Which Cleveland team is the closest to a championship? Doug Lesmerises 3rd and Short | Cleveland.com

Postseason Update
- After going 0-for-5 with 4 strikeouts in game 1 of the NLCS, Justin Turner played hero for the Dodgers on Saturday with a go-ahead home run. Series tied 1-1.
- The Astros quieted the Fenway faithful as the ALCS kicked off on Saturday night. Houston leads series 1-0.
