You win some, you lose some, and sometimes you lose twice before your regularly scheduled game was even supposed to start. A little over 30 minutes before the Guardians were originally supposed to start today’s game against the Tigers, they already lost twice and fell to 9-9 on the season.
The good news? Between the traditional doubleheader and the speed of 2023 baseball, both games combined clocked in at just under five hours.
The Guardians blew Game 1, plain and simple. Hunter Gaddis wasn’t ace-like in the start or anything, but he did enough to leave the Guards in a position to win when he exited after five frames.
