The Guard show will continue on the road tonight as Cleveland heads to Texas to face the Rangers for the second and final time this season. Cleveland took two out of three in the first matchup, with their only loss being Kirk McCarty’s first career start (and second MLB appearance).
The Guardians were still finding their identity when these two teams played in June, but it’s safe to say they found it now — the youngest team in the majors is playing with house money, nothing to lose, and only the postseason to gain. They are coming off a tremendous stretch of games against their biggest division opponents, taking four of five from the Twins and sweeping the White Sox right out of Chicago.
