The Guardians return home after a successful 7-2 road trip, but things aren’t about to get any easier. This upcoming headstand — their longest of the season — begins against the Red Sox and ends with the Yankees, forming a tough-opponent sandwich with a five-game series with the Twins in the middle.
Cleveland will a team as equally as hot as them — Boston is 8-2 over their last 10 and coming off a sweep of the Tigers. They’re a banged-up bunch, though, with Nathan Eovaldi, James Paxton, Chris Sale, and Garrett Whitlock all out of the rotation due to injuries.
