Box Score · Guardians improve to 1-0
Since Cleveland pretty much drafted college pitchers with 19 of its 21 picks last year, most of the players in the Arizona Complex League are going to be unfamiliar to fans unless they’re rehabbing an injury.

The ACL Guardians used their bats and their patience in Monday’s season debut, racking up 10 hits and seven walks.
Juan Benjamin went 2-4 with a home run, a walk and a stolen base; 17-year-old catcher Manuel Mejias went 1-3 with a homer and two walks; top shortstop prospect Angel Genao went 2-4 with a triple and a walk; and Maick Collado went 3-5 with a double.
