last night's loss

14-Day Trend

Comfortable territory. The 3-run loss last night is the heaviest factor today. Compounding things, only 2.1 R/G over the last 7. The offense is a drag on the score.

Guardians News

The Guardians' crushing 10-2 defeat against the Nationals was a stark reminder of their pitching woes, as Joey Cantillo struggled early, throwing only two innings and allowing four runs. Meanwhile, in an encouraging twist, Will Dion made a strong MLB debut, striking out three in relief, showcasing a glimmer of hope in a shaky bullpen. However, the loss left fans lamenting the trade of Spencer Horwitz, who seems to be flourishing elsewhere, further complicating the Guardians' roster decisions. On a brighter note, Daniel Schneemann's defensive prowess shone through again with a highlight-reel home run robbery, reinforcing his value on a team that desperately needs both defense and consistent offense. With their recent record at 5-2, the Guardians need to channel that energy positively as they face the Nationals again.

Schneemann shows serious hops with full-extension HR robbery

CLEVELAND -- Daniel Schneemann isn’t valuable to the Guardians merely because he can play a half-dozen positions. He’s valuable because he’s exceptional defensively no matter where Cleveland puts him. We saw that in action once more on Tuesday night in a 6-3 loss to the Nationals. Schneemann robbed Nationals third
