The Guardians’ lineup is out:
1. Kwan - LF
2. Fry - DH
3. Jose - 3B
4. Thomas - CF
5. Josh Naylor - 1B
6. Noel - RF
7. Gimenez - 2B
8. Hedges - C
9. Rocchio - SS
- Thomas batting cleanup is a clear sign that the Guardians see that he matches up well with Skubal. If Thomas can get a hit or two off of Skubal, that, combined with his game one heroics, will make the trade for him look like a genius move.
