Craig Albernaz explains how Cleveland's defensive success hinges on advanced scouting, communication, and player adaptability.

Jorge Polanco hit a walk-off RBI single in the ninth inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-3 on Saturday night. With one out and the bases loaded, Polanco smacked a single up the middle off Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase (4-1),

The Guardians lost their first game they have led after 8 innings in their last 113 tries, 4-3 to the Mariners. Emmanuel Clase blew the save with an assist from home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski who missed a CLEAR strike resulting in his walk of Miles Mastrobouni. When things are going bad, that kind of thing happens.

Cade Smith was oh, so close to a scary injury after narrowly escaping from a 106.6 mph line drive hit directly back at him on Friday night.

Lane Thomas had a rough opening to 2025 and finally decided an IL stint was needed as he dealt with a foot injury. He hopes he's back to himself.

The Cleveland Guardians activated catcher Austin Hedges from the seven-day injured list prior to Friday night's game against the Seattle Mariners.

9. The bullpen this season has a 3.61 ERA, ranking 12th. In the month of June, the relievers’ ERA is 1.15. Emmanuel Clase has found his dominating groove. Cade Smith and others are pitching well. That trend needs to continue.
