The 15-15 Guardians hosted the Rays last evening, and they took things very easy on their guests.

Tanner Bibee was on the top of his game, but broke one of the Guardians Pitching Commandments when he allowed one (1) single run. Big mistake; that’ll drop you to 0-4, sir. Perfect game or bust.

On the offensive side, Travis Bazzana debuted and walked twice. There are no other nice things to say. We don’t have to watch Juan Brito for a little while. Does that count?

Around baseball

• The Tigers also lost and lead the vision at 15-15

• The Chicago White Sox are 2 games out of first place. Yes, you read that correctly. Yes, they are 13-17.

• Preston Mattingly is the GM of the Phillies; his father is now manager of the Phillies. Rob Thomson was fired yesterday, and the recently available Alex Cora obviously turned down the job since he is getting paid a fortune to not manage.

• Jon India’s season is over.

• We have some #DougNews.
