Guardians Matched Rare Franchise History Wednesday Night

Andres Chavez • 2 years ago   In MLB, reaching extra-innings is not that rare: sometimes, two teams are so evenly matched in a game that nine innings are not enough to break the tie.

Tyler Freeman Leads Guardians In Elite Stat

Andres Chavez • 2 years ago   Hitting the ball hard is a desirable outcome in MLB, for obvious reasons. If you hit a soft grounder, the chances you will be out are very high.
