At multiple points this year, it looked like the Cleveland Guardians’ 2025 season was dead. Their 10-game losing streak in July. Their swoon in Arizona. Two back-to-back tough losses to the Red Sox.
But every time it seems like it’s time to start writing the obituary on the Guardians, they pull a hand out from the dirt and dig themselves out of their grave.
The latest example of that came over the weekend when they took three out of four from the Tampa Bay Rays. Not only are they just 2 1/2 games back in the Wild Card Race, but they also leapfrogged the Rays in the Wild Card standings.
