The Cleveland Indians are headed north to face the Toronto Blue Jays in the third game of the seven-game American League Championship Series. The Indians lead the series 2-0, with the Jays pressured to win the first of three games on their home field at Rogers Centre.

Marcus Stroman will be on the mound for the Jays, with Trevor Bauer returning for the Indians after a drone-related injury forced him to miss his planned Game 2 start. The Indians have a well-rested bullpen ready to be deployed, while Canadian hopes are hinging on hard-hitting José Bautista as he's gone without a hit for 14 at-bats after swatting dingers in his first two postseason games.
