22 games into Petey Halpin‘s career, he’s still searching for his first extra-base hit.
Excluding pitchers, that’s the 18th longest streak to begin a career in team history.
Here are the longest in the Jacobs Field Era:
The franchise record is 56 games, set by Junior Noboa during the 1984 and 1987 seasons (he spent all of 1985-86 in the minors).
In Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the Nationals, Gavin Williams allowed one run over seven innings, improving to 8-3 on the year.
He’s just the eighth Cleveland pitcher over the last 50 seasons to pick up at least eight victories before the end of May, joining:
Five of the previous seven made the All-Star team (not Martinez or Swindell), two of them started the All-Star game (Lee, Nagy) and two went on to win the Cy Young (Sabathia, Lee).
In just his 24th career game, Travis Bazzana went 3-4 with a homer on Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia.
He’s the fifth fastest in franchise history to post that stat line from the leadoff spot, trailing only:
Glynn did so in his fourth game in Cleveland, but had previously played 8 games for the Phillies in 1949.
The Guardians topped the Phillies 1-0 on Friday night thanks to a 9th-inning pinch-hit home run by Kyle Manzardo.
It was the Guardians first go-ahead pinch-hit homer in the 9th inning or later since Jason Giambi had two walk-off pitch-hit homers in 2013.
It was also just the second pinch-hit home run to break a 0-0 tie in franchise history. Incredibly, the first one happened just two years ago when Will Brennan broke a 0-0 tie against Boston in the 7th inning with a pinch-hit homer.
This is also the 45th time in franchise history Cleveland won a 1-0 game with a home run providing the only offense. The most recent occurrences before tonight:
And it’s just the 12th time that 1-0 win featured a homer in the 9th inning or later. Here’s the full list of the others:
With score tied 1-1 in the 10th, Angel Martinez put the Guardians ahead with run-scoring triple against the Tigers on Wednesday night.
It was Cleveland’s first go-ahead triple in extra innings since 2002 and just the 25th over the last 100 years.
The most recent prior to Martinez:
In the Guardians 50th game of the season on Tuesday night, Erik Sabrowski picked up his 17 save of the season, tying him with JoJo Romero of the 2017 Cardinals for the second most in MLB history.
The record is 18, set by the Pirates’ Mark Melancon in 2013.
The previous franchise record was 13 by Vinnie Pestano (2013), Andrew Miller (2017) and Hunter Gaddis (2025).
The Guardians hit six home runs in Sunday’s win over the Reds by five different players.
It was just the sixth time since moving into Jacobs Field in 1994 that the team had five different players homer in the same game:
In Saturday’s game against the Reds, Jose Ramirez stole his 19th and 20th bases of the season in just his 47 game.
It’s the eighth fewest games to 20 steals in team history and only three other individuals have done it faster.
Here’s the list:
At age 33, Ramirez is easily the oldest of the group. The previous team record for most stolen bases through 47 games by a player age 33 or older was just 8 by Rajai Davis in 2018.
Ramirez is also just the 15th player in MLB history to reach 20 stolen bases in 47 games or fewer. The most recent to do so:
In Sunday’s loss to the Twins, Brayan Rocchio went 4-4 with two run scored while batting ninth.
It was just the ninth time someone collected four hits from the nine-hole at home since Jacobs Field opened in 1994.
The others:
Rocchio and Asdrubal were the only ones to do so in a losing effort.
The last to so home or away was Tyler Naquin in Kansas City in 2019.
