Rested Guardians blank Tigers to win ALDS Game 1

The Cleveland Guardians could not have asked for a better start in Game 1 of the ALDS Saturday. They scored five runs before the Tigers recorded an out.

Despite not having played a game in a week due to a first-round bye in the wild-card round, the Guardians' hitters did not look rusty at all.

After blanking the Detroit Tigers in the top of the first inning, Guardians leadoff hitter Steven Kwan nearly left the yard for a home run, hitting a ball just off the top of the right field wall for a double to get things started. David Fry followed Kwan with a walk.
