Maybe the Guardians are just used to 8 p.m. starts. After three straight, they finally played one at 7 p.m. again tonight, but the offense forgot to show up until an hour into the game. Yet, despite being no-hit by Glenn Otto through four innings, they came back to win, 4-2, thanks to Oscar Gonzalez’s slump-busting power outburst.
Gonzalez, who hadn’t homered since Sept. 14 coming into the game, hit two tonight. His first broke up the improbable no-hitter in the fifth inning, and was hit a few rows into Globe Life Park’s left-field bleachers at a measly 99.
