The Guardians offense faced their 2 nemeses yesterday: a bad pitcher (6.34 ERA), and a Tuesday.
As usual, that bad pitcher, Brady Singer, shut them down completely. Will Brennan, however, lit up the KC closer like he was an infield-squatting bird, and the Guardians won 2-1.
The Guardians needed so few runs because Gavin Williams dominated. Like, really. In his 2nd MLB game, he pitched 7 innings and gave up 1 hit. Nobody had been this good for Cleveland so soon since Addie Joss in 1902.
But then Trevor Stephan came in to the game and provided more value to KC than any Royal has all year.
