The Guardians were shut down by another soft-tossing lefty as John Means and the Orioles beat them 2-1. If you’ve got a lefty who tops out at 91 mph and you’re not pitching them against the Guardians, what are you doing?
Andres Gimenez got the Guardians’ one hit, a home run, and has a 153 wRC+ in September. We can only hope he has found something offensively that he can carry over into 2024 to go along with his gold-glove defense.
After I grumbled about Michael Kelly in the News and Notes yesterday, he struck out four in two scoreless innings of relief.
