The umpiring crew of this game may not have been the worst officiating in sports today, but they are probably a close second. Between some weird handling of the pitch clock and their flat-out refusal to give strikes in the lower part of the strike zone, it wasn’t a pretty showing for blue today. None of that matters though, because in the end, the Guardians overcame it to take the series finale against the Mariners, 6-5, in 10 innings.
Cal Quantrill had an up-and-down season debut, starting at a low point with a Julio Rodríguez lead-off home run.
