CLEVELAND, OHIO - JUNE 09, 2025: Manager Terry Francona #77 of the Cincinnati Reds looks on during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on June 09, 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by George Kubas/Diamond Images via Getty Images) | Diamond Images/Getty Images The Cleveland Guardians had a day off at home yesterday and now they will play a weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds, led by Tito Francona and former Guardian Will Benson. Because we all know he is going to make our lives miserable soon. The Reds beat the Nationals 15-1 yesterday. Hopefully, that was them getting all of their run-scoring out of the way before this weekend. Jeff M. and I talked about the Guardians on the Disgusting Baseball Podcast last night. Check it out here. Rumors swirl that Peyton Pallette’s partner is about to have a baby any second, so I wonder if Franco Aleman gets the paternity leave recall tonight. Connor Brogdon made it through waivers and is in Columbus again. AROUND MLB: The White Sox beat the Royals, the Tigers got swept by the Mets, and the Twins destroyed the Marlins.
