Cleveland Guardian is known to play small balls, to pursue a base for the runners through aggressive gram flouring at a time.
This style was so successful when he proceeded in the 2024 American League Championship series, the team’s marketing department made it the theme of this season as a guard ball.
However, Cleveland on Friday used the long ball an route to post a 6–0 win in Philadelphia Philos. The teams meet again on Saturday night in the second competition of the three-game series.
Angel Martinez hit a two-run homer and Jose Ramirez and Kyle Manzardo had solo shots that gave a record of 20–1 to the Guardian when he used to go to a game at least three times since Stephen Vogt took over as Manager in 2024.
Martinez said through an interpreter, “The way I see it is more such as we become really aggressive than the gate-go.” “It is not necessary that we smell blood, this is a result of everything we do first. We are able to keep it together in this way.”
Despite killing at the bottom of the order, Martinez has been an important contributor since he returned from Triple-e Columbus on 9 April. The 23 -year -old center is batting. 325 starts with a homer and 11 in 25 games starts from RBI, 20.
Cleveland has won 20 of their last 29 matches, including three straightforwards after Gavin Williams and three relayers against Philadelphia.
“If you are killing first or killing us, it is the same mentality to help the team and try the best,” Martinez said. “You have to contribute and help other people.”
Guardian As Tanner Bibe (3-2, 4.26 ERA) will get a debut against Philips Left-Hand Ranger Suarez (0-0, 17.18) on Saturday.
Bibi has three starts without the introduction of all three, going 2–0 with 2.50 ERA in 18 innings. The right -handed batsman won his lonely game against Philos, tossing seven scorer innings on July 22, 2023.
Suarez started her season on 4 May against Arizona Diamondback, scoring seven runs in 3 2/3 innings. He spent the first five weeks of the season in the wounded list with a low back rigor, and is 0–1 with a 6.00 ERA in two career walks against Cleveland.
Considering his late arrival in the Northeast Ohio after a 10-inning win on Thursday night in Tampa, the Philos should be very refreshed against Bibi. He crossed a four-run loss to complete a series of rays with a win of 7-6 on Thursday.
Phillies scoring went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring and their six-market homer stretch ended on Friday. Train Turner and Nick Castalonos each had two hits.
Turner said, “Last night hard journey.” Surely, (Williams) made some good pitches and we got out of the zone. We had our opportunities, but did not work. “
Philadelphia has won nine of their last 12 matches.
The nominated Hitter Kyle is riding the Schwarvar 44-Game on-Base Streak, which is the fifth longest tied in the franchise history. He enhanced the line with a sixth-inning walk from Tim Herin.
“It’s unfortunate that we can’t run a couple,” said Rob Thomson, the manager of the Phillis. “We will rest something and come back (on Saturday).”
