If you’re the Guardians, what exactly do you do when Triston McKenzie and Aaron Civale come off the jured list in the coming days? Banish Hunter Gaddis to the bullpen? Go with a six-man rotation and use the oft-injured Civale as little as possible? Trade Shane Bieber?
Well, with Cal Quantrill’s performance tonight, he may have answered part of that equation for them. A miserable start to the game led to a whopping eight earned runs in 4.1 innings of work. Seven of those eight runs came in a rough first and second innings. He was left out to there clean up his own mess, however, and ended up pitching a pair of solid innings before the final one scored in the fifth and he was pulled.
