Description: Jo Adell and Petey Halpin power the offense as the Guardians beat the White Sox, whose Tommy Pham gets his first hit back in the majors, and Cleveland jumps back atop the AL Central. Ken and Anthony break down the tightening schedule down the stretch, noting Chicago's softer slate against Detroit, Kansas City, and Colorado versus Cleveland's own matchups with the Red Sox and Royals. They also dig into Jose Ramirez's recent surge out of his September slump, his lingering hand injury, and whether the AL Central's lack of big spenders gives Cleveland a lasting edge.
