Nice, quiet game today. Parker Messick provided you with 6 quality innings in a not-so-easy-to-pitch-in ballpark. Also, got to pitch in front of a hometown crowd! Pretty cool.
Rays took the lead in the 5th with a Carson Williams solo homer, and the Guardians answered right back.
Angel singled in a pinch-hit appearance when the Rays brought in Cleavinger for Rasmussen (did Kevin Cash pull Drew Rasmussen too early?), and Jose subsequently tripled to bring him home. Jose passed Jim Thome for #2 in career
RBI for the Guardians. Another milestone.
Arias then gave the Guardians the lead with a 2-out RBI single.
Gaddis was nice today, 1.1 scoreless innings, stranding an inherited runner left by ‘everyday’ Matt Festa.
Cade Smith pitched for the third day in a row, striking out the side. The reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated.
The Guardians head back to Cleveland for a massive four-game set against the Royals starting tomorrow.
