And the Cleveland GUARDIANS are leading the MLB in one run games...... by far. They lead the pack in nail-biters so far the MLB. ■ Here it is !
From the ABJ .....
■ CLEVELAND — Finally, for a moment, the Guardians could exhale a bit. But if you're a Cleveland fan, you haven't had the luxury of a no-stress game very often during the team's run of near-constant one-run games.
■ It seems as though just about every inning the Guardians have played could be described as high leverage. Through the club's first 52 games, they've played 25 one-run games. No other team in baseball has more than 20. Two of the Guardians' last three series have included three consecutive one-run games.
Shuffle the deck: Triston McKenzie, Aaron Civale nearing return from injured list — now what?
■ Time and time again, a talented pitching staff combined with a badly struggling offense has left every run coming at a premium — and just about every day, the potential tying run has been at the plate with two outs in the ninth.
■ It's a high-intensity way to play night after night. It's also something the Guardians, in a way, have relished.
"I say pressure either busts pipes or makes diamonds, and I like to shine," said reliever Xzavion Curry. "That's when you're really getting tested. Your mental and your physical — can you sit there and weather the storm of whether your body's feeling good, whether your mind's feeling good. So I like the pressure situations because it really shows what you're made of."
■ ....... The Guardians have been in a proverbial Finals Week lately, with one exam after another. Manager Terry Francona noted recently that the offense, especially, was being tested in a lineup-wide slump. Nearly always playing in one-run or tied games doesn't exactly relax the nerves, either.The Guardians. ■ lost three consecutive one-run games to the New York Mets a week ago. Then Friday night against the St. Louis Cardinals, Emmanuel Clase bent but didn't break, as he turned it into a one-run score but ultimately converted the save in the ninth.
That was followed by a rough 2-1 loss in which the Guardians pitching staff allowed just two hits, but the offense couldn't make it count. And on Sunday, the lineup finally came through in a clutch situation, as Jose Ramirez — the club's last hope in the ninth — lined a ball into the right-center gap that scored two runs and gave the Guardians a walk-off 4-3 win.
It was the first deep breath in quite some time for an offense that was begging to support its pitching staff in a big moment. On a day when the lineup needed something to happen that would lead to a celebration, Ramirez ended up with a bubble gum bucket on his head. The one-run games are difficult enough. The Guardians were need of a finish like Sunday's game.
■■ "This is a hard game. It's not going to be always come our way, and this is a long season," said Ramirez. "We're going to prepare because something's going to happen, positive and negative, but we have to be ready for all of those."

Game 57 - Game 2 - 8:10 on Apple TV - Pitchers - Civale versus Ober ..... Civale pitched a tough game through -6- innings but it's still 0-0. A radio game for me, hard one to stay awake (no Hammy, day off). And it continues on -->
MIN 1 CLE 0, to top 8. Guardians must score now with 2ABs left.
MIN 1 6 0 CLE 0 8 0 W - Stewart L - Sandin S - Duran, and his 104 mph fastballs.

I know the AL Central is weak, but the Guardians should really consider the long-term and see what they can get for Shane Bieber. He's a free agent after this season, and the Gs need a power bat in the worst way, preferably at RF or 1B.
The future of the Gs rotation is McKenzie, Quantrill, Bibee, Allen and Gavin Williams, who is at AAA. Thats not even mentioning Daniel Espino, the team's top prospect, because the kid can't stay healthy.

I think that they are thinking about that now, remember Cy Young winners Kluber, Lee, Sabathia who got dealt away for some good players ? The Indians have been great deal makers over the past years.
......... edit add, I think Beiber has Cy Young potential in him, even if he gets the 4+ run support.
