CLEVELAND — A lack of offense put the Guardians' backs firmly against the wall against the Chicago White Sox in an American League Division Series before Jose Ramirez came to the rescue in three consecutive games.
Now in the AL Championship Series, an all-too-familiar — and all-too-unwelcome — lack of timely hitting has every ounce of the Guardians' weight again on their heels, with nowhere else to go but forward or home.
The Guardians lost 3-1 to the Rays in Game 5 of the ALCS, giving Tampa Bay a 3-2 series lead and putting the Rays on the brink of a World Series berth. Trailing in the series for the first time, the Guardians travel to Tampa Bay (without the benefit of an off day to regroup after Game 4 was pushed back) for must-win Games 6 and 7.
They had to win three consecutive games to get to the ALCS. Now, they must again defy the odds and rally to win two connective road games to play the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series.
"I think it'll help a ton knowing we're able to do it, facing elimination," said outfielder Steven Kwan, who made two highlight reel defensive plays in Game 5 to save at least two runs. "I think we feel a little better on this one as opposed to the [ALDS] since we've got some wins under our belt.

Barcelona's La Liga **** le defense is flying high as Hansi Flick's Blaugranas are a perfect 9-0-0 to start the season.
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid sit third with 21 points, six back of the throne room, and the possible six-point swing that is the first Clasico of the season is coming up this week.

Raphinha is leading the way for Barcelona with 12 goals through seven outings as one of three finishers off to red-hot starts to the season (Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez).
Real have been led in goals by Kylian Mbappe but are waiting for other players to follow suit, though Arda Guler's impressed in the playmaking department and Jude Bellingham is starting to warm up nicely. But Mourinho won't be able to count on suspended Vinicius Junior.

Jose Mourinho may have found the answer to Real Madrid's midfield problems after Arda Guler delivered an outstanding performance in a deeper role.
The Portuguese manager started the Turkish international in defensive midfield against Sevilla, and Los Blancos produced their best performance of the season, securing a 4-1 victory.
According to Diario AS, Guler is now emerging as a genuine long-term option alongside Aurelien Tchouameni, with his influence in central midfield transforming Madrid's attacking play.
Mourinho made several tactical adjustments against Sevilla, deploying Guler alongside Tchouameni, moving Federico Valverde to right-back and placing Yan Diomande on the left in Vinicius Junior's absence.
However, Guler's presence in midfield proved particularly influential.

Real Madrid rediscovered their sparkle with an emphatic rout of Sevilla in a match that saw Arda Güler take charge, while Madrid fans celebrated Kylian Mbappé's clinical finishing and Yan Diomandé's emergence. However, the victory was not without controversy, as Sevilla were left furious with the officiating.
Rounding out the football action are a domestic transfer market stirred by Getafe's interest in Sergio Ramos, a struggling ***** nal's resilience in the Premier League, and Nico Paz's unstoppable form under Cesc Fàbregas in Italy.
Real Madrid delivered a commanding performance with a 4-1 victory over Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabéu, inspired by a stellar display from Arda Güler. José Mourinho's side showed a dramatic improvement in their fluidity to set up a comfortable win, sealed by a brilliant Kylian Mbappé brace and another standout goal from youngster Yan Diomandé, establishing the Turkish midfielder as a cornerstone of Madrid's midfield for the immediate future.
The defeat left the Sevilla camp deeply aggrieved, with outrage spreading from the dressing room to the press room and the club's official channels as they left Madrid's ground. Coach Luis García Plaza and players including Kike Salas and Juan Iglesias openly argued that Güler should have been sent off for a heavy challenge on Peque, directing their criticism squarely at the handling of VAR.
On the transfer front, Getafe once again grabbed the headlines after president Ángel Torres surprisingly confirmed in public that Sergio Ramos is among the club's potential signings. Having already secured Dani Carvajal—who is ready to make his debut immediately—the Coliseum club's board is seeking another historic, headline-grabbing coup in Spanish football by bolstering its defence with the veteran former Real Madrid centre-back.

Real Madrid played some of their best football of the season to secure an important 4-1 victory over Sevilla in La Liga.
The performance was a confidence boost for Jose Mourinho's side ahead of El Clasico, with the manager's changes playing a particularly important role.
Yan Diomande has written his name into Real Madrid's history books, becoming the youngest player to score and provide an ******* ist in the same La Liga match for the club in the 21st century.
He achieved the milestone at 19 years and 338 days, surpassing Jude Bellingham's previous record of 20 years and 51 days.
The achievement highlights the impressive attacking talent Madrid have in Diomande, who continues to demonstrate his ability to influence matches in different ways.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has struggled at Real Madrid, and his career at the club could take another unwanted turn after Jose Mourinho overlooked the right-back for Sunday's victory over Sevilla.
Real Madrid secured an impressive 4-1 win against Sevilla, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice, Arda Guler finding the net, and Yan Diomande continuing his fine run.
However, Alexander-Arnold's absence from the starting XI for the second game stood out. He didn't even get minutes off the bench.
Mourinho opted to deploy midfielder Fede Valverde at right-back, leaving actual right-backs Alexander-Arnold and Denzel Dumfries on the bench.
The decision raises further questions about Alexander-Arnold's standing in Madrid.

Saved by the Bell actor Dennis Haskins' cause of death has now been disclosed one week after his passing. Haskins, who was best known for playing Principal Belding on the hit NBC sitcom, died at the age of 75. The newly revealed details now provide insight into the health condition that led to his death.
Dennis Haskins' death certificate has revealed new details about the health issues that he faced before his death. The document confirms that Parkinson's disease was the immediate cause of death for the actor.
The certificate, obtained by TMZ from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, states that Haskins died on September 27, 2026, at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank. It also mentions several other conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, depression, hypertension, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Haskins had kept his Parkinson's diagnosis largely out of the public eye. His ex-wife, Sarah Quinones, previously said that he went to considerable lengths to keep his illness private, including cutting off communication with people who were close to him. According to Quinones, Haskins stopped returning her calls and messages, as well as those from other confidants who tried to reach him.
Haskins reportedly spent the latter part of his life in an **** isted-living facility. His friend and caretaker Kimberly Snow said he had been dealing with Parkinson's for eight years and had remained in **** isted care since receiving the diagnosis. Previously, Haskins agent Jay Schacher said, "It's a tragic loss. He was a great person, and he loved, I mean absolutely LOVED his fans. He always had time for them, no matter what."

The 61-year-old comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, is planning to return to the stage later this month. His representative authenticated the photographs for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which reported the update Oct. 5.
His performances were canceled beginning Sept. 18, when he was admitted to the hospital. Representative Jami Schlicher confirmed that he was receiving medical care and asked for privacy on behalf of his family, PEOPLE reported.

The photographs were taken Sunday, Oct. 4, at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Roman Catholic Church, according to Page Six. Thompson wore a light-blue shirt and jeans and stood with other churchgoers while waiting to speak with a priest.

Kellon Deryck will never forget the day he met Megan Thee Stallion. It was 8 years ago, and the celebrity hairstylist was trying to keep it professional on his first job with the rapper. But Megan wasn't having it, he recalls, laughing.
"I'm normally pretty shy when I first meet someone, so the first day we worked together, I was quiet; I was just there to do my job," he explains. "She **** near tickled me into laughing and talking like, 'Who is this up in here? Who are you?' She made me show my personality. She pulled it out of me." And from that day forward, they were inseparable.
"Even when we're not at work, we're on FaceTime talking about what we're about to do next or how our night was, what we ate, and what TikTok we're about to do, and what food we want to try," says Deryck. "We literally do everything together."
Megan Thee Stallion on InStyle's September 2026 cover, hair styled by Kellon Deryck
The Boston-born, Atlanta-bred hair pro has been behind some of Megan's most unforgettable hair moments, from 2025's Met Gala, for which he crafted an artful, architectural copper-red ponytail inspired by Josephine Baker, to the towering, out-of-this-world sculptural updo he molded for InStyle's September cover. "I always know what story she's trying to tell with her hair," Deryck explains. And over the years, he and Megan, ever the hair chameleon, have done nearly "every kind of look." Their résumé runs the gamut from candy-colored finger waves and Marie Antoinette poufs to jet-black clouds of curls, glossy flipped bobs, Old Hollywood waves, and Rapunzel-length tumbles. His work has even made its way into Megan's lyrics: In "Don't Stop," she raps, "40-inch weave by Kellon, don't tangle."

Arnold Schwarzenegger, 79, was well known for his unwavering discipline with his workout routine in his bodybuilding era, but he is just as strict with his house rules.
The Terminator actor thrives on routine and order, admitting at the Town & Country Philanthropy Summit in 2023 his motto: "The key thing is in the morning, do right away something."
That's precisely why you won't catch him leaving the bed unmade. As well as ensuring he arranges the duvet perfectly, he expects the same from his children, and growing up, there were big consequences for anyone who left their bedsheets a mess.
The actor shares four children with his ex-wife, Maria Shriver: Katherine, 36, Christina, 35, Patrick, 33, and Christopher, 29. But in 2011, the actor announced he had fathered another child, Joseph Baena, 28, who is now a bodybuilder himself, with his longtime housekeeper, Mildred Baena.
When promoting his book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, Arnold told People magazine how he would throw the mattress if beds were left unmade in his house.

US actor Tom Cruise has surprised a British man who spent a year completing a series of extreme sporting challenges to raise money for charity.
Lloyd Kembrey, a facilities manager at the University of Bristol, took on the challenges to fundraise for children's hospice charity Jessie May.
His connection to the charity was born from his twin cousins, Francesca and Josephine, who were diagnosed with the life-limiting condition Sanfilippo disease type A when they were three-and-a-half years old. Both died in their teens.
Kembrey was inspired to undertake a number of exhilarating challenges in order to honour their memory and support other families facing similar circumstances.
The challenges he faced included a 31-mile ice skating ultramarathon in Finland, climbing the height of Mount Everest on a climbing wall and a 94-mile hike along southern England's Jurassic Coast.

A pair of New York City newlyweds were in the middle of their wedding portraits when their photo shoot suddenly picked up an unexpected guest, Mariska Hargitay, still dressed as Capt. Olivia Benson.
The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star was filming nearby on October 1 when she spotted the unidentified bride and groom outside the New York County Supreme Court in Manhattan. Hargitay stepped away from the set and ran toward the couple before joining them for several photographs.
Photographer José Pérez captured her approach on video and shared the encounter on Instagram later that day. PEOPLE reported that Hargitay slipped into the portrait session while the couple was still facing the camera, smiling beside them and enthusiastically pointing toward the newlyweds.
Hargitay was wearing Benson's wardrobe while SVU films its upcoming 28th season, giving the couple a wedding photograph with the show's longtime captain less than a week before the series returns to NBC.
Pérez's footage shows Hargitay running up behind the couple while they continue posing, apparently unaware that she is about to enter the frame.

The latest menswear outings took us from New York premieres and Paris Fashion Week to a world tour and the San Sebastián Film Festival, with tailoring still dominating but plenty of different ideas about how to wear it.

Joseph Zada wore a Louis Vuitton black velvet double-breasted jacket, white shirt and black tie with jeans, shaking up the house's usual tailoring M.O.
I keep going back and forth on how I feel about this. On the one hand, the top half is impeccable and the jeans feel like they are bringing the look down. On the other, they give the tailoring a fresher, less formal feel. I'm staying on the fence for now. Where do you stand?
The LV brooch added a decorative detail.

For around 15 hours, immigration detention officers kept Raúl Suárez Herrero confined in a cage slightly larger than a phone booth, where he feared snakes and endured mosquitoes in the middle of Florida swampland, the former detainee alleged.
Suárez, 59, told José Díaz-Balart in an interview for Noticias Telemundo’s “Ahora 360” that he was forced into the cage, measuring 7 feet, 9 inches high and 4 feet, 3 inches square, for praying out loud for an ill young man at “Alligator Alcatraz,” an ICE detention site.
“I feel like I was in ****** ,” Suárez later told NBC News in a phone interview from Mexico, where he was deported.
Suárez spoke days after a Department of Homeland Security watchdog confirmed the use of the phone booth-sized cages at the now-shuttered Florida detention camp in a Sept. 11 report.
“The use of such restrictive ****** es is highly unconventional and does not align with standards for humane treatment,” the report said.

Coming into Monday night, the Yankees were one win away from officially clinching a playoff berth. While that's obviously not the end goal of their season, getting into the postseason is the first step. They're now there.
Officially, the clinching came prior to the Yankees' game ending, as the Blue Jays losing to the Tigers was also enough to get the job done. However on the field, the Yankees got the job done too, eventually.
On the mound, Will Warren was pretty good but deserved better. He ended up going 5.2 innings, allowing two runs — both of which ended up unearned — on five hits and two walks. Thanks to some iffy defense and the offense struggling, he left the game in line for the loss, before the offense responded just in time. Thanks to a six-run eighth inning that included Aaron Judge's first home run since returning from the injured list, the Yankees flipped the game back in their favor. They didn't need the win to pop the champagne, but it still feels better to get in with it, as they downed the Twins 8-3.
After both teams failed to capitalize on some early runners, the Yankees broke the deadlock in the third. With two outs, José Caballero just cleared the left wall at Target Field for a solo home run, putting the Yankees up early.
On the mound, Warren was mostly very solid. He ended up giving up the lead in the sixth, albeit with some defensive miscues that weren't entirely on him. After Warren got the first out of the inning, Ryan McMahon let a Kody Clemens grounder through his legs for an error. Warren then got the second out, brining Josh Bell to the plate. Bell hit a liner to a leaping George Lombard Jr., who got a glove on the ball, but couldn't complete the catch. The ball got past him into center field, moving Clemens to third. That one was ruled a single as opposed to an error, as it would've been a very nice play had Lombard completed it.

This one had everything. Troy Melton struggled and got knocked out early, but the bullpen managed to bend without breaking. Meanwhile, the young Tigers hitters were centre stage as they fought back repeatedly with good at-bats late in this one. Kenley Jansen picked up his 496th major league save to wrap up the victory.
Monday night's first of three at the Rogers Centre featured Melton against right-hander José Soriano. The Blue Jays have had almost as strange a season as the Tigers. Struggling through the first half, they moved long time top starter Kevin Gausman, but acquired Soriano at the deadline as well, and have kept themselves in the thick of the wild card race.
Things didn't start off too well as the Tigers quickly went 1-2-3 in the first, and Melton immediately dug himself a hole. Brett Bateman led off by slashing a single the opposite way past a diving Hao-Yu Lee for a leadoff single. Bateman appeared to be thrown out stealing second on a pitch that was called a ball and incorrectly challenged by Dillon Dingler to walk George Springer. So everyone was safe, and after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. grounded out to advance the runners, Alejandro Kirk singled home Bateman for a 1-0 lead.
Melton didn't help his cause against Nathan Lukes by yanking a wild pitch to score Springer, but he retired Lukes and Kazuma Okamoto flew out to Clark to end the first inning. 2-0 Blue Jays.
A Dingler strikeout started the second inning, and Max Clark and Brett Callahan grounded out.

Jose Delgado will be back.
The rising Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight prospect suffered a third-round submission loss to top Brazilian contender Jean Silva in the main event of Noche UFC 4 this past weekend (Sat., Sept. 12, 2026) inside Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona (watch highlights).
Delgado accepted the biggest opportunity of his career on approximately three weeks' notice, replacing former interim Featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez and headlining a UFC event in front of his hometown crowd.
After taking a day to gather his thoughts, Delgado released a statement addressing the first main event loss of his UFC career.
"Well, ***** , so it goes," Delgado wrote on Instagram. "Dared to be great yesterday and came up short. But man, I loved every second of being on that stage with high-level opposition; that includes the heartbreaking pain of failure. Pure freedom. Insert something cliche about bouncing back here. Thank you to God for His guidance and my village for backing me. Also, thanks to everyone in that arena for making that walk what it was. Love y'all."
