Cleveland Guardians
The Cleveland Guardians recently rode into DC with wins in four of their last five games, but their momentum was briefly stalled by a rain delay that led to a doubleheader against the Nationals. In game one, the Guardians rallied for six runs in the seventh inning but ultimately fell short, losing 10-9. Carlos Santana had a strong performance, going 3-for-5 with two runs scored. The Guardians will close out the series with lefty Logan Allen on the mound, who is still searching for his first quality start of the season. Key players Lane Thomas, George Valera, Tanner Bibee, Slade Cecconi, and Trevero Stephan are out with injuries. With a power ranking of 24, Cleveland is ranked 21 in offense, 20 in defense, and holds a 85-77 record this season.
