The Guardians won their opening game against the Cardinals and aim for a second victory tonight. They have made roster changes, bringing George Valera in for CJ Kayfus and swapping Hunter Gaddis for Kolby Allard.

The Guardians had an excellent win to open their series against the Cardinals last night and look to follow it up with a second tonight.
Hereās your recap from yesterday. The Guardians swapped George Valera onto the roster for CJ Kayfus who was barely playing. I wonder how they will work Valera into the lineup with Angel Martinez absolutely balling out. I suspect heāll get plenty of DH reps.
The Guardians also swapped Hunter Gaddis for Kolby Allard, whom they had to DFA to move off the roster. Gaddis averaged 95.1 mph with his fastball, so he looks back to his old self (94.7 mph average last year).
There were eight multi-homer performances yesterday, and everyone was scoring a ton. The Twins destroyed the hapless Red Sox, 13-6. Is Garrett Crochet suddenly bad??
The Yankees walked off the Angels 11-10. Really shows what kind of day it was.
