Guardians News

The Cleveland Guardians dropped another heartbreaker to the New York Yankees, losing 5-7 and squandering a chance to regain momentum after a rough 3-4 stretch over the last week. Brayan Rocchio continues to shine, but the team's collective inability to perform in clutch situations was painfully evident, especially with Kyle Manzardo's frustration in the ninth inning. Meanwhile, the struggles of Steven Kwan have reached a tipping point, calling into question his role moving forward. Despite having a mostly healthy roster, the Guardians' flaws were on full display, and if they hope to stay competitive in a tight division, they need to find solutions quickly. Most concerning is the mounting pressure as they face the Yankees again, a series loss this early could set the tone for the summer.

CLEVELAND -- Kyle Manzardo’s frustration was clear to anyone inside Progressive Field in the ninth inning on Tuesday night, when the first baseman stepped to the plate as the Guardians’ potential winning run. Rather than a Cleveland celebration, the lasting image was Manzardo twisting his body in agony and disappointment.
