The Guardians bats came out to play today, taking the series final over the Diamondbacks, 7-4.
Among the Guardians who recorded hits (and there were a lot), was rookie Tyler Freeman, who singled and drew a walk in his MLB debut in front of family and friends at Progressive Field.
Freeman was informed that he made it to the majors with his Triple-A manager jokingly telling him that he was benched because didn’t hustle enough on a bloop single. He was hustling, of course (merely pulled from the game because he set to be promoted the next day), but he apparently took it to heart because he was almost thrown out trying to take a double on his first major-league hit.
