Williams’ 12 Strikeouts Set the Terms of Cleveland’s Game 5 Shutout

Gavin Williams recorded 17 outs against the White Sox in the deciding game of the American League Division Series. Twelve came by strikeout. For most of his October 10 start, Cleveland did not ask its fielders to turn difficult contact into outs; Williams removed that part of the contest before Chicago could put the ball in play.
