ALDS Recap - Games One and Two

The American League Division Series games have started, and boy, have there been some fireworks so far. The Toronto Blue Jays have jumped all over their division rival New York Yankees, with Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., Alejandro Kirk, and Dalton Varsho leading the way. The Yankees will have their work cut out for them if they hope to survive this series.

In Seattle, the series is knotted up at a game a piece. Both games were tense and exhilarating. As the series heads to Detroit, we shall see if the stars - Julio Rodrigues, Cal Raleigh, Tarik Skubal, and Kerry Carpenter - can continue to shine
