Cleveland is handing the ball to the bullpen early in Game Six of the American League Championship Series tonight, with right-hander Shawn Armstrong getting the start against Tampa Bay. It's a bold move by the Guardians, leaning on their relief corps with a series on the line and everything to play for.
Meanwhile in Denver, Sean Payton is standing firm behind Bo Nix. The Broncos head coach made clear Monday that benching his young quarterback is simply not on the table, despite an offense that has struggled to find any consistent rhythm. Payton wants better production, but he's not pulling the plug on his starter just yet.
And out in Austin, Arch Manning holds onto his spot as Texas's starting quarterback, but Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian made it clear he needs a sharper, more decisive version of his signal caller heading into Saturday's showdown against Ole Miss. Manning has the talent, Sarkisian knows it, but the standard just got raised out loud in front of everyone.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
