News and Notes: Guardians Lose Close Game in Kansas City

The Cleveland Guardians lost a game that was part luck regression, part exhaustion and part "one of those things", falling to the Royals 2-1.

You can't expect your team to be the best in baseball with runners in scoring position all year, so last night was an averaging things out game as Cleveland went 1-6 and left nine men on base.

You can't expect Ben Lively to be prime Corey Kluber. Six innings and two runs surrendered should be more than enough. But it wasn't last night.

The Guardians have a tough task ahead of them in trying to figure out Cole Ragans today, but they've been up for tough tasks all year so none of us should be concerned.
