The Guardians lost to the Diamondbacks 8-6 yesterday, but they gave up the lead late when Juan Zapata was pitching. Of course, Scott Barlow also gave up five hits in his inning, but I wouldn’t read anything into that. Joey Cantillo, Emmanuel Clase and Eli Morgan looked good in their outings - and I’d read A LOT into that. This is how to handle Spring Training, folks.
Angel Martinez was 2 for 2 and has a 1.431 OPS in Spring so far. All our middle infield questions are answered. But, seriously, he’s played well. Tyler Freeman looked solid in centerfield, and Deyvison De Los Santos did not look solid in right field.
