If not for the guy added to the roster hours earlier, there’s a good chance another jaw-dropping start from a Guardians rookie pitcher would have gone to waste. Tanner Bibee held the Blue Jays scoreless for 7 innings, and then Trevor Stephan and Emmanuel Clase each added one more.
For the 3rd straight season, we say so often that Guardians pitchers might have to pitch 9 scoreless innings to win, but we really know that could not be good enough, especially with those stupid Manfred Runners that always ruin Clase’s SV%. Tuesday was probably going to be one of those nights, EXCEPT!
