Are there any doubters left regarding the Lane Thomas trade?
Across six appearances this season, Tyler Holton had the number of the Cleveland Guardians. In 12.1 innings, Holton didn’t allow a run, striking out nine.
But that was a the regular season.
Success for the Guardians began the same way it did for much of the season: with Steven Kwan. The All-Star left fielder saw two pitches from Tyler Holton, taking an inside sinker and nearly beginning this team’s playoff run with a leadoff home run. Instead, it stung off the top of the wall, allowing Kwan to settle in with a blistered double.
