The Guardians dropped the series finale to the Twins 5-4, breaking a streak of winning 14 straight games when the score was decided by one-run against Minnesota.
Nicole has your recap here. The Guardians couldn't quite overcome a bad first inning from Joey Cantillo, but it was nice to see him finish strong. CJ Kayfus getting his first hit was the big highlight.
Catch up on Guardians injury news here. Sounds like John Means is progressing nicely in terms of throwing off a mound.
Stephen Vogt offered
some comments about his lineup philosophy in this piece by Tim Stebbins. I think my main point of disagreement with him remains that he needs to recognize that not everyone needs to play 3-4 times a week. Some guys are bench bats for a reason.
Around MLB:
The Yankees got swept by the Marlins and the Mariners beat the Rangers. Guardians are three games back of Seattle in the wildcard race, 3.5 of the Yankees and 2 back of the Rangers.
