From start to finish, literally down to the last pitch, this game was within the Guardians’ reach. Unfortunately, finishing 3-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranding a dozen runners is now how you typically win baseball games. In this particular case, it resulted in a 3-2 loss at home.
Cal Quantrill came out of the gate on fire, but not in the sense that he was having a great game on the mound. More like he was literally on fire and should have stopped, dropped, and rolled a few times to prevent further injury. What I’m trying to say is he looked really, really bad in the first inning.
