(Photo by Leigh Bacho/MLB Photos via Getty Images) | MLB Photos via Getty Images The Guardians had a blowout win tonight, 7-2, over a very bad baseball team in the Los Angeles Angels. Brayan Rocchio finally got the team a hit with runners in scoring position in the second: Daniel Schneemann got a bloop to fall for two RBI’s in the 3rd. Funny after all those hard hits I saw caught last series, including a screamer from Schnee: Travis Bazzana closed out Cleveland’s scoring for the night with a two-run double: The top five hitters in the Guardians’ lineup went 0-14… but they did take a combined six walks (2 from Steven Kwan, one from Chase DeLauter and THREE from Rhys Hoskins). hit a couple balls hard, but went 0 for 5 with a strikeout. It’ll sure be nice when he finally turns it around. But, if the bottom of the lineup goes 7 for 17 with four walks, we will see this team win a lot of baseball games while we wait. was very good, going six scoreless, allowing five hits, one walk and striking out four. was shaky but threw a soreless inning, and Peyton Pallette both gave up runs, but, hey, it didn’t matter so it doesn’t count. Let’s see if the Guardians can clinch a series victory in the toughest matchup (on paper) of the series, with facing off against Walbert Urena.
