Aside from a momentary burst of life in the sixth inning, the Cleveland Guardians were a no-show in the nightcap of Tuesday’s doubleheader, dropping a 6-3 loss to the Texas Rangers.
Kirk McCarty is thankfully on his way back to Triple-A Columbus after a thoroughly unimpressive start against Texas, the first of his big league career. He made a relief appearance against the Yankees earlier this season, giving up two home runs in three innings of work. The long ball continues to be an issue for McCarty, as the Rangers tagged him for three home runs. He surrendered eight hits and five runs, four of them earned, over four innings.
