The Cleveland Indians struck first in the American League Championship Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, engineering an impressive 2-0 victory Friday at Progressive Field.
It was a continuation of a so-far unblemished postseason, which began with the Indians winning 3-0 against the Boston Red Sox in the division series.
For their part, the Jays ran into a wall after blasting past the AL Wild Card Game and sweeping the Texas Rangers in the ALDS.
What can we glean from Friday’s action, and what are the keys for each club to claim Game 2, set for Saturday at 4 p.m. ET on TBS?
