Guardians leave everyone on base, lose

After a rousing display of clutch hitting Friday night, the Cleveland Guardians turned sour in an early Saturday game. Perhaps the 6:10 p.m. ET start time through them off. Or, perhaps, they can’t rely on Ernie Clement to be Superman every night.

José Ramírez did his best to pick up that mantle tonight, going 2-for-5 with a triple and double — two of the hardest-hit balls of the game. Zimmer had two hits as well hitting out of the two-hole, but the rest of the lineup failed to provide much out of a spare hit and walk.

As a team, they struck out 12 times, left nine on base, and went just 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position.
