The Most Lopsided Records on the Board
Foster Griffin at 15-4 against Shane Baz at 5-15 is the widest gap between two starters on the Wednesday slate. Griffin has quietly been the most productive arm Cleveland has run out there, and Baz has been on the wrong side of a lot of games in Baltimore.
Tuesday was a nine run night for the Guardians, with Tim Herrin picking up the win in relief and Brandon Young taking the loss.
What It Means for the Race
Cleveland at 74-72 is two back of the White Sox in the AL Central and still within reach of a wild card spot, though it needs to climb past Boston at 80-66 to get there. The Guardians have scored only 593 runs, so games like Tuesday are the exception rather than the plan.
Baltimore at 70-76 is 17 games back in the AL East and out of it.
