Don’t look now, but the Guardians are streaking. The Cleveland Guardians won their sixth straight game Friday night, clobbering the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-0, north of the border.
A Canada native, Cal Quantrill must have felt right at home in Toronto, cruising through seven shutout innings in his best start of the season. He retired 21 of the 22 batters he faced and tied a season-high with seven strikeouts. The only Blue Jay to reach base against him was Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who was left stranded at second base after hitting a double in the fourth inning.
Quantrill has not surrendered a run in 15 consecutive innings now.
