Technically the Cleveland Guardians played a full 18 innings of baseball today, but one of them didn’t feel that long.
Game 1 of the Guardians’ doubleheader against the White Sox was over pretty much as soon as it began. Amed Rosario started the scoring with a bases-loaded fielder’s choice in the first, but it was the second inning that really put the nail in the early coffin.
Guardians batters, for once, were not fooled by Dallas Keuchel at all. The groundball specialist didn’t record a single out, though he faced the entire order in the second frame alone.
