Tonight was mostly very fun for Guardians fans with one big caveat relating to Tanner Bibee. But, Cleveland beat Seattle 6-4, and here\u2019s how it happened.<\/p>\n
The game got started with a very exciting event – a Chase DeLauter home run on his first official major league at-bat:<\/p>\n
There is a reason we have been screaming for him to play for Cleveland since last May, folks. Please, please, stay healthy.<\/p>\n
DeLauter debuted a new home run celebration for the team:<\/p>\n
Apparently inspired by a team trip to Medieval Times:<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Brendan Donovan followed up with a homer off Tanner Bibee to tie the game as the Mariners\u2019 first batter. Bibee gave up three solo homers, one on a fastball, one on a sinker (to Dominic Canzone) and one on a cutter (to Luke Raley). So, that\u2019s not helpful. He only gave up 4 hits and 2 walks and struck out 7… but left in the sixth with what was later reported as right shoulder inflammation. So… that\u2019s bad. Hopefully it\u2019ll be a short IL stint. Tim Stebbins of MLB provided this update:<\/p>\n
Back to more positive news- after a Rhys Hoskins single and a Daniel Schneemann double, Brayan Rocchio put the Guardians up 3-2 with a double:<\/p>\n
After Bibee gave up the game-tying homer, Jose rapped a double to score Rocchio and DeLauter who had reached via singles in the top of the seventh.<\/p>\n
Shawn Armstrong surrendered another homer to Canzone in the bottom of the frame, but Canzone got a well-placed cutter in the bottom of the zone. The bullpen was spotless outside of that with a scoreless inning from Connor Brogdon in the sixth, and ine and a third DOMINANT innings from Erik Sabrowski, who struck out four and went through the heart of the Mariners\u2019 order like a knife through butter. Cade Smith had a perfect ninth for the save, striking out one.<\/p>\n
Oh, did I forget to mention that DeLauter hit ABOTHER HOMER??!!:<\/p>\n
The Guardians got their first win and I already can\u2019t wait for tomorrow night\u2019s sequel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tonight was mostly very fun for Guardians fans with one big caveat relating to Tanner Bibee.
