Guardians lose fourth straight a Bibee's misery continue

 The losing streak now stands at four in a row. Cleveland was shut out and managed just five hits in a 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay on July 25.

Cleveland dropped to 54-52 on the year. Tanner Bibee’s year from hell continued as he dropped to 4-10 and was tagged with the loss. He allowed just three earned runs on five hits in six innings of work.
Tampa Bay (61-43), the best team in the American League, got another strong start from Nick Martinez, who picked up the win and improved to 10-2. He struck out five and scattered four hits over six innings while not allowing a run.
Junior Caminero, a former Guardian farm hand, doubled home a run, his 63rd RBI on the season, to lead Tampa Bay’s offense. Yandy Diaz, another former Cleveland player, had two hits, including his 1,000 career hit with Tampa Bay, to add a little more sting to the loss.
The White Sox lost again, so Cleveland remains 1 1/2 games out of first place. Houston beat the White Sox, 4-1.
Parker Messick, the rookie all-star lefty, looks to stop the losing streak for Cleveland today in a matinee at Tropicana Field that starts at 12:15 p.m.

Jose breaks through as Guards take over first

Image
 Jose Ramirez finally gave the Guardians what they were seeking from their perennial All-Star and MVP. A jolt of power. Ramirez hit a home run deep into the Cleveland night with two outs in the sixth inning and Cleveland clutching a one-run lead over the pesky Sacramento A’s. It upped the lead to 5-3 and set off a raucous celebration at sold-out Progressive Field as the Guardians went on to beat the Sacramento A’s by that 5-3 score and later on take over complete control of first place in the American League Central with just eight games left on the schedule. It was part of a big night for Ramirez, who went 2-for-5 and drove in a pair of runs and scored a run to key a Cleveland offense that trailed 3-0 before it even batted. Cleveland improved to 79-75 with the win, while Chicago dropped to 78-76 after blowing an 8-2 lead at home in what turned out to be an 11-8 loss. Rookie Travis Bazzana continued his monster September with a solo home run, his fifth in September, whi...

Martinez grand slam keys Guardians win

 Someone hit the pressure release valve, and his name was Angel Martinez. Martinez hit a grand slam home run and drove in six runs as the Guardians shook off a miserable series with the Mets by downing the Chicago White Sox, 8-2 on Aug. 7 in Chicago.  The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Cleveland and moved the Guardians to within two games of Chicago in the American League Central standings. Martinez connected for his grand slam in the fifth inning off of Chicago reliever David Sandlin. Hitting from the left side of the plate, Martinez hit a rocket deep into the right-field seats. It increased a precarious Cleveland lead from 2-1 to 6-1. The Cleveland dugout exploded in excitement watching the ball leave the park Parker Messick started and picked up the win, improving to 9-6. He went seven innings and allowed two runs while striking out eight and walking two. He gave up a pair of home runs. The three-game series with Chicago is a showdown for...

 Chase DeLauter hit not one but two triples and drove in two runs as the Guardians finished off a weekend sweep of the Rockies with a 7-2 win on Aug. 23 at Coors Field. It was Cleveland’s fourth straight win and fifth in six games. DeLauter, the rookie outfielder, tripled in his first at-bat of the contest and drove home Steven Kwan, who opened the game with a base hit, to give the Guardians an early 1-0 lead. Cleveland would collect a total of 12 hits. The top three of the lineup for Cleveland, that being Kwan, DeLauter and Jo Aadell, went 7-for-14 with four runs and four RBI.

DeLauter ended up going 3-for-4 with two RBI, scored two runs, and walked. Cleveland (65-66) is 3 1/2 games out of first place in the  AL Central according to MLB.com and was the third wild card team. The marathon that is a...
