It's Day 5 of the League Championship Series -- and we've got one series tied, while the other could end as soon as tonight.
After splitting the first two games in Tampa Bay, the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays will face off at Progressive Field in the day's first game, as the Guardians try to bounce back from a loss in Game 2 of the ALCS. Then, in what could be the finale of the NLCS, the Milwaukee Brewers will look to continue their dominant championship series run and sweep the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
Who will take the edge in the ALCS? And can the Dodgers stave off elimination -- or will the Brewers advance to their first World Series appearance since 1982?
Stay tuned for lineups, game action and postgame analysis from ALCS Game 3 and NLCS Game 4.

Tampa Bay Rays at Cleveland Guardians
Highlights from Cleveland
A series-defining game?
Guardians/Rays starting up. Williams v Jax. Last time Williams was on the mound, he was striking out White Sox hitters left and right. We'll see what he has in the tank today. Winner of series tied 1-1 goes on to win 70 percent of the time.
