The Guardians’ win over the Orioles on Tuesday was a showcase of how Brayan Rocchio and Angel Martínez can positively impact the Guardians.
Martínez served as the team’s spark plug at the top of the lineup with three hits and a big double, while Rocchio created some production at the bottom of the lineup with a big base hit and sacrifice bunt,
While they still both have their warts as players and haven’t fully established themselves as building blocks for the future, it’s games like Tuesday that serve as reminders of what kind of player they can be at the major league level.
