The Guardians lost a bad game, yesterday, 9-2, to the Astros. Slade Cecconi looked pretty lousy again, but at least he said the right things after the game:

Cecconi: "I’ve been getting dragged through it a little bit, but f—, that’s baseball. Got sick for a couple weeks, I’ve pitched in 30 degree weather twice. Experiences like this will make me better, regardless of how I feel right now."

Steven Kwan, Kyle Manzardo, David Fry, Bo Naylor and Juan Brito are providing next to nothing at the plate. Connor Brogdon, Shawn Armstrong and Matt Festa continue to get hit hard every time out. So, if we solve those six issues, we’ll win a World Series. Nice to know.

The Tigers and Royals both lost. The Mets lost their 11th straight, which is quite funny.
