First there was Zach Plesac’s second inning implosion. Then there was the Cleveland Guardians’ furious comeback. Not long after that, Emmanuel Clase self-destructed in the ninth inning. Finally, the Guardians regained the lead in extras, but not without some drama courtesy of Eli Morgan.
This game was, for lack of a better term, drunk.
It wasn’t even safe in the hands of Emmanuel Clase, who was handed a hard-fought two-run lead in the ninth inning, only to surrender it with two outs. After issuing a four-pitch walk to Aledmys Diaz, he then gave up a game-tying home run to Seth Brown.
