Quietly productive. The bats at 2.9 R/G this week. That's not getting it done. On top of that, down 20 in run differential this week. That's significant.

Guardians News

The Cleveland Guardians are in a precarious position after their 4-9 loss to the Boston Red Sox, marking their third defeat in the last four games. With the offense sputtering at a mere 2.9 runs per game over the past week, fans are frustrated by the team's power outage, managing only one home run during their recent homestand. As they prepare to face the Yankees, who are currently boasting the best starting pitching in the league, the Guardians need to reignite their bats to maintain their slim lead in the AL Central. The bullpen might also be bolstered by bringing up Franco Aleman from Triple-A, but with the pressure mounting, the Guardians must show they can rise to the occasion and deliver against a division rival.

Yankees getting MLB’s best starting pitching since Gerrit Cole’s return — and it could get better

The emergence of Tuesday’s starter against Cleveland, Cam Schlittler, has been as big a reason as any for the Yankees’ success in that area, but they are routinely getting six-plus innings from whomever is on the mound.
