Steven Kwan scores twice for the Guardians in their ALDS-opening win

The Cleveland Guardians began their MLB playoff run with a 7-0 win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday. For Oregon State Beavers fans, a familiar face helped Cleveland take a 1-0 lead in the American League Divisional Series.

Former Beaver and current Guardians center fielder Steven Kwan hit a double and was walked twice, scoring two runs in the win. Kwan also became the first player in Cleveland history to record a leadoff hit in the team's first postseason game.

“It was electrifying,” Kwan told @MLB on “All your teammates are behind you, it was an amazing feeling.”

The series continues Monday at 1:08 p.m. PT/4:08 p.m. ET on TBS. Former Beaver Matthew Boyd is expected to be the Guardians' starting pitcher.
