Guardians set ALDS pitching order

The Cleveland Guardians have set their pitching rotation for the first three games of the ALDS against New York.

After completing their sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays, the Cleveland Guardians have determined their pitching order against the New York Yankees. Cal Quantrill gets Game 1 while Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie will follow.

Quantrill pitched once against the Yankees, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two with one of the hits being a Josh Donaldson solo homer.

Bieber is the only one of the three Guardians pitchers set to pitch who did not face the Yankees this season. The last time Bieber faced New York was in 2021, striking out nine and allowing two runs on four hits and two walks.

McKenzie dominated New York, allowing just one hit and striking out seven Yankee batters across seven innings.

Taking the series against Tampa in just two games is huge for Cleveland. Being able to use Quantrill in Game 1 rather than rushing back Bieber on short rest is ideal for the Guardians. Things would have looked a lot different if Cleveland was not able to come out victorious in that five hour 15 inning marathon on Saturday.

Guardians fall to Astros, lose 2-1

Offense was hard to come by for both teams as the Guardians and Astros combined for just three runs. Problem for Cleveland is that Houston managed to win by a 2-1 final score.

Cleveland managed just four hits and three walks in the contest. Reaching base was Amed Rosario (1-4), Jose Ramirez (1-3, BB), Josh Naylor (0-3, BB), Andres Gimenez (1-4), Ernie Clement (1-4), and Austin Hedges (0-2, BB). This simply is not good enough, especially considering the Guardians struck out 12 times in the loss.

Contrary to the loss on Tuesday, pitching was not the problem here. Cal Quantrill did more than enough to give Cleveland a chance to win only to be let down by the bats. Quantrill allowed just two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two. Trevor Stephan and Bryan Shaw pitched two innings striking out four.

The Guardians are playing as expected currently. Cleveland is undergoing a transition period and that leads to disappointing losses such as this one and surprising wins like Monday.

The road trip continues as the Guardians travel to Detroit for a four-game series with the Tigers. It was a two game split last weekend in Cleveland between the two clubs.

The Cleveland Guardians have made a handful of roster moves which includes calling up highly regarded prospect Gabriel Arias.

Arias has 10 hits including four doubles and one home run in nine games for Triple-A Columbus this season with a slash line of .278/.350/.472.

In addition the Guardians calling up Arias, Cleveland has placed Cal Quantrill, Owen Miller, and Anthony Castro have been placed on the injured list. It was later reported that Quantrill, Miller, Castro, and Yu Chang have been placed on the COVID-IL.

Kirk McCarty, Tanner Tully, and Enyel De Los Santos have been called up as well.

Cleveland has a doubleheader Thursday against the Chicago White Sox with the third and final game taking place Thursday. The Guardians roster could be interesting moving forward based upon how long the aforementioned players remain on the injured list.
