They did not carry the game here, but reading the box score I see they gave two of the best Astros the day off and brought each in as pinch hitters one at bat only. Still it was an excellent match-up just like I thought it would be between those two pitchers. Astros are rotating the day off now as they should be with such a big lead over 2nd place Seattle. Cleveland however is in the middle of a dogfight with Minn. and Chisox from here on out though.

After getting their taints handed to them Thursday and Friday, it's great to see the kids rally and spiit the series.

Strangest thing, I was just typing 0-0 bottom 5. Great pitcher's duel....so far. And Maile was up, crack home run over the 17' wall. [I'm thinking Maile ? Maile ? Hammy says first HR in 3 years...(me, not with the Indians)....he said 2019.] CLE 1-0.
I was thinking maybe this game would break up a bit....WRONG ! The pitchers dug in right through McKenzie and 18 straight and Clase time. He's becoming a lock down 94-100 mph with movement closer. Whoa. From Play ball to Clase it was better than advertised.

Dodgers beat the Twins on the West Coast, the G's are now in first place by a full game.
In a season they were rebuilding. They've had nine players get their first MLB hit this season.

When I saw that last night I couldn't believe my eyes. Ol' Tito Francona working his magic with about 51 games left.
I don't know if most people realize what's going on here with these young guns ! They started this season -2 years younger than Pittsburgh then KC and the other cellar dwellers. I was hoping that they "might" be in a WC race before fading away late.
Now they're taking a shot at #1 in the AL Central. They are a dangerous late inning ball club leading the MLB in some important stats. A good set up pitching staff, Clase can be "unhittible" at times. Still pieces of a good 1-5 staff. Still lacking in HR hitters -but- doing that 1-9 stuff Tito has wanted all along for these young guns.
Will this club make it to October who really knows.....but I wouldn't put it past them. Jose, Jimenez, Naylor, Gonzalez plus the starters coming around ?
I've only missed 2 of 110 games, 111 at 1:10 pm today. They are a scrappy, tough bunch.
Plesac 2.82 run support third worst in baseball, he's so due. McKenzie is just breaking through, Beiber is Cy Young good, slow start, again low run support, Quantrill (8-5) don't forget about him. there.
And the 9th Guardian player to get 1st MLB hit No not a last place club. It's there for 2023 breaking through in 2022.
GO GUARDIANS, it's there.....

Game 111 - Thu Aug 12- CLE (58-52) at DET (43-67) first pitch 1:10 pm. Plesac is SO overdue for a big win.
Zack Plesac (2-10) ERA 4.49 vs Garrett Hill (2-3) ERA 5.15
■~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~■ Game 3. Going for the sweep, baby ! Play ball. !
.... CLE 2-0 top 5. A slow paced quiet game. Plesac steady. Finally a CLE HR ! Kwan #3. CLE 3-0.
.... CLE 3-1 top 8. Still a slow paced game. A few runs would be nice.
.... CLE 3-1 bottom 9 again. Plesac was steady. Bullpen steady. Trevor Stephan in. Oops walk, 2 on nobody out. Geeezzz. Clase can't play every game. CLE 3-2 2 on 0 out. Bases loaded 1 out. Here it is. Win, tie, lose ? Del los Santos is in. 3-3 tie game 2 outs. Crap. Stephan & Del los santos didn't come through this afternoon.
.... 3-3 top 10. The 9th got away today. Now CLE 4-3 bottom 10. 1 out. WHOA !! Sweep and W5.
...
... CLE 4-3 final, again. OMG they did it yet again ! CLE 4 8 1 LOB 10. DET 3 7 1 LOB 8
See you in Toronto Friday at 7:07 pm ....then 3:07....then 1:37 pm. After than it's home for (4) vs DET
