The Guardians lost game one of a three game set against the Reds, surrendering the coveted Ohio Cup for the first time since 2014. This brings the Guardians to 4-6 in their last 10 games and 8 games back of the Detroit Tigers.
Cleveland was the only AL Central team to play yesterday. Today the Tigers start a 3 game series against the scuffling Orioles, the Twins start a three game series against the Rangers and their abysmal offense, and the Royals take on the Yankees for a three game series. The Guardians will have to pick up their play to keep the gap from growing too wide.
