The Cleveland Guardians haven’t been very kind to Pete Fairbanks lately. The last time we saw him face off against Cleveland, he took a loss in the ninth inning at George M. Steinbrenner Field thanks to a Steven Kwan infield single.
The last time he was in Cleveland, he gave up a game-tying home run to Nolan Jones that helped turn the Guardians’ season around. And if that wasn’t enough, the last time he faced off against the Guardians in the postseason he ended up leaving Tampa Bay’s eventual 1-0 Wild Card Series loss due to numbness in his finger.
