The positives and negatives are canceling out. Just 3.0 runs per game this stretch. Not enough. Making it worse, dropping one by 2 last night stings.

Guardians News

Tanner Bibee cemented his status as the Guardians' ace by matching up against Jacob deGrom, throwing seven innings with only two earned runs, yet still walking away with a loss in an infuriating 6-3 defeat to the Texas Rangers. The Guardians' offense continues to sputter, scoring just three runs over the last two games, and rookie Cooper Ingle's costly error didn't help their cause. On a brighter note, José Ramírez is progressing well in his recovery, having had stitches removed from his hand, and Ralphy Velazquez has soared to the top of MLB Pipeline's prospect rankings. With a record of 44-41, the Guardians are in need of a spark, and as we head into the next game against the Rangers, fans are left hoping for a turnaround.
