This young Guardians team has a fire lit under them. The dips will come again, but tonight’s 8-4 win over the A’s was one of those “just enjoy the ride” games.
Heck, tonight was almost one of the low points with Konnor Pilkington struggling out of the gate and the Guardians losing to one of the worst teams in baseball for the better part of seven innings.
But then the eighth inning came and the runs came flooding in. Heading into the frame, they were tied, 4-4, and the first five batters reached base, capped off by Richie Palacios hitting a pinch-hit double that made the final tally 8-4.
