Everyone gets a decision

Last night against the Blue Jays, all six pitchers used by the Guardians recorded either a win, hold or save.

It’s just the eighth time in franchise history the team used at least six pitchers and everyone recorded a decision.

2 Homers and Shutout

Jose Ramirez belted two home runs on Sunday afternoon as Cleveland shutout the White Sox behind and the bullpen.

Dating back to 2000, it was the 16th time a Cleveland hitter had a multi-homer game in a shutout, and the fifth time it has involved Ramirez.

7+ Walks with 1 or Fewer Runs Allowed

Last night for the Padres, Blake Snell walked seven batters while allowing just one run. That seemed rare, so I looked up some stats.

As it turns out, it’s not quiet as historic as a I thought, though still uncommon. The record for walks while only allowing one or fewer runs is, incredibly, 13 by for the Reds in 1953 (he later played for Cleveland in 1959).

The Cleveland record is 11 by during his historic rookie year in 1955 – he’s one of 10 pitchers with double digit walks while allowing one or fewer runs.
