One of two things happened Monday night:
- The Cleveland Guardians were held to one hit over eight shutout innings before staging a three-run rally in the ninth inning to beat the New York Yankees, 3-2
- I suffered a psychotic break after watching eight innings of mind-numbingly awful plate appearances and the ninth inning rally was a fever dream produced by my broken brain
I’m not sure I’ll ever know what really happened.
What I can say for sure is that Cal Quantrill pitched well. The Guardians’ starting pitcher stumbled in the third inning, giving up a solo homer to Jose Trevino and a two-out RBI single to D.
