The Guardians returned to action with a 7-0 shutout victory over the Padres, Friday night, in front of another sell-out crowd.
Tanner Bibee had to shake off some rust but went 5 and 2/3rds scoreless, walking three but only allowing two hits and striking out three. Meanwhile, the Guardians offense struggled to do much until Daniel Schneemann singled home David Fry in the fifth and then the pent up flood released in a six-run 8th inning started by a two-run José single and another two-run single from Brayan Rocchio later on.
It was great to see Fry go 3 for 3 with a walk and Guardians hitters generally hitting the ball hard.
