What is the story about?
The Guardians somehow managed a split in Kansas City and now they return home to play the Twins. Finally, some sweet AL Central action.
Here’s our recap of yesterday’s 8-5 win over the Royals. Tim Stebbins reports that Slade Cecconi felt like his off-speed was the key for a better performance. He still gave up six hits and three walks, so I’m going to hold on to some skepticism, but I love Slade, so I hope it’s real.
I did a Disgusting Baseball Podcast with Mike Mahoney where we talked through six
wins and six losses for the 2026 Guardians who look mostly like a .500 team so far.
Zack Meisel has another collection of great Guardians’ notes at the Athletic.
AROUND MLB:
The Twins lost.
The Yankees are going to call up Spencer Jones.
