A day after he hit a grand slam in the third inning to win one lucky fan a Ford Bronco, Andres Gimenez gave the rest of Cleveland the next best thing: a good day of baseball. And you don’t even have to pay interest or insurance on it.
Gimenez’s only hit of the day was a clutch RBI in the fourth inning that gave the Guardians a 1-0 lead. Sheldon Neuse hit a solo home run for the A’s in the next inning to tie the game at 1-1, where it sat for most of the game.
It’s always difficult to know when the Guardians are involved in a pitcher’s duel or their own lineup just can’t hit while they have another ace on the mound.
