Well, I’m going to start off this N&N by congratulating The Professor Brayan Rocchio for getting the monkey off his back and hitting his first major league homer! He put an amazing swing on a hanging changeup and pulled a screamer into the Marlins’ bullpen. He was greeted with the silent treatment when he got back into the dugout (dancing along the way), but eventually the squad livened up and gave Brayan their commendations. Here’s to a hopeful born-again hitter in Rocchio.

Unfortunately, that would be the Guardians’ only burst of offense on the day.
