Solid relief, especially again by Allard preserve a shutout and Guardians produce 5 runs on 5 singles and a double.

In the heated battle for the 3rd OF spot when Thomas returns, Jones 0-2, Noel 0-2, Brennan 0-2, Martinez 0-1 with a walk and a steal.

Manzardo just hit his 10th homer to even the score at 1-1 in the 2nd

as expected Martinez is getting time back in the IF with Rocchio optioned out and replaced by an OF. Angel started at 2nd today; Schneemann at 3RD and Jose DHing

Jones in CF today and Noel in RF.
Jones singles lifting his average to 161

Noel hits next; would it be a first if they got hits back to back?

Question is moot; Noel strikes out. His OPS slips to 451,FYI 200 points lower than Hedges, 113 points lower than Jones; what exactly his benefit is to the team is rather theoretical.

Jones singled twice and brought his RBI total up to 7. Meanwhile LittleChristmas struck out 3 times in 3 tries.

Williams managed to throw 90 pitches in 5 innings and headed to the showers with a 2-2 tie.
And then Herrin, Junis and Cantillo let things get out of hand, 5 runs scored in the 6th and 7th.

not out of it: Jose red hot launches a 3 run homer; now down by 2.

Arias now the potential tying run at bat with 2 out in the 8th.

Well we're heading to the 9th down 2. We will have the heart of the order for our last shot:
Jones, Noel [or perhaps Brennan] and Martinez.
Clark Kent in for the Guardians' 9th

2 singles with one out off not-necessarily superman; Hedges nabs another runner stealing; but a wild pitch moves remaining runner up a base. And then a walk.
He's retired one of 4 batters and gets behind the next one.

runs the count to 3-2 and his 28th pitch of the inning results in Hoskins' 4th hit of the day and another 2 runs.

Walters will be back with Cleveland shortly.
"Mound visit" but I don't think Walters can here from Columbus that quickly

Here comes pitch number 34: he's gone to 3-2 again. and whiffs the dangerous jake bauers. Only 2 runs scored.

Big day today. Cecconi is the starting pitcher.

Cecconi looked pretty good for a spot start. Showed a lot of movement. Struck out half of the batters he faced and did not walk a batter. Looks like that trade might not be as bad as some people thought. Now you can understand why multiple teams were trying to acquire him,
