Today’s 10-4 drubbing of the Texas Rangers wrapped the series with a sweep and the division with a clinch. The Guardiac Kids, not content to simply rally late in games, decided to emphasize their signature style by finishing the season with the same energy.
Cleveland’s speed, baserunning skill, and gap power make them a nightmare on the basepaths. Errors can shatter the resolve of a defense and lead to runs thanks to frustration, loss of focus, anger, and even violence against the playing field.
Cleveland cried havoc in the third inning of today’s game.
Tyler Freeman and Myles Straw singled on either side of Luke Maile’s flyout to put runners at first and second.
