The set-up was there.
Ernie Clement at third base. Myles Straw at second. Andrés Giménez on-deck.
With all of the world watching in Game 6 of the World Series, former Guardians were all over the field for the Blue Jays.
And all of them failed to capitalize. After Clement popped out on the first pitch he saw in relief from Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow, Giménez lined out to left fielder Kiké Hernández, who promptly threw to second base to get Addison Barger for a game-ending double play to secure the Dodgers' 3-1 win.
Jubilation turned to heartbreak in the matter of three pitches to former Guardians.
