McKenzie was the tough-luck loser today, pitched well enough to win, but two solo homers did him in. 

Lets win the series tomorrow.

G's 7-1 their last 8 games, rolling as they head back home. 

Doubleheader tomorrow vs the Motor City Kitties.

1st place mid-way through August, not bad for a rebuild year.

14th ?  You might see that on last place teams dumping talent but not on contenders.....which it may be safe to say that barring a major meltdown the Guardians......uh, are now contenders with 47 to go, and Manager Tito Francona  in charge.

Maybe one of his finest managerial jobs of many.   Manager of the Year ?

[mjp28]

Game 115 - Mon Aug 15 - DET (44-66) vs CLE (61-53) first pitch 3:10 pm.   Hutchinson vs  Civale. 

Game  116 - Mon Aug 15 - DET (44-66) vs CLE (61-53) first pitch 6:40 pm.  And pitching --->

In Game 2 of 2 - Bryan Garcia (0-0)  ERA 2.35   6 K   versus  Xzavion Curry  ERA   -.--   0  K

■~~~~~~>   ⚾   >~~~~~>   DH Game 1 of 2 up.  So who's pitching  ?   And time to play ball  !

....  DET 1-0 about an hour ago. CLE left 'em loaded.  Now 1-1 top 7.  Civale 10 Ks.  Getting real interesting.

....  CLE  4-1  bottom  7,  oh yeah baby !   Young Gimnez comes through again,  3R HR !  Top 8 now.

.....✔️.....   CLE  4-1  FINAL !   Game 1 a W.  Get ready real soon for Game 2.     

●~~~~~~~~~~●~~~~~~~~~~●

....  DET  5-4  top 8.  Had a nice supper.  Game is getting close. CLE 8-2  L10  on the line.

....  DET  7-4. bottom 8.  Need 3+ runs soon.  Not much else to do. 

[Dutch Oven]

Here's the crazy stat of the year....

Cleveland and Detroit are two of the charter American League franchises, and have been competing against each other since the A.L. started in 1901. 

After yesterday's doubleheader, which was split between the Guardians and Tigers, the all-time series stands at:

1143-1143. 

[mjp28]

Game 117 - Tue  Aug 16 - DET  (44-74)  vs CLE (62-54) first pitch  7:10 pm 

  G. Hill (5-5?)  ERA  4.70. versus  Cal Quantrill (9-6?)  ERA. 4.49 

■~~~~~~>    ⚾    <~~~~~~■    Started like shootout.  Game  3 of 4.  Should be interesting. 

....  DET  4-1  bottom  3.  Baseball is so much different than football,  that's for sure. 

....  DET  4-3 final.  And Tito Francona gets thrown out in the 9th  but he got his money's worth. 

See you Wednesday at.   7:10 pm   for the split.    Good night everyone.        

[Dutch Oven]

I'm surprised there weren't more ejections tonight, the G's were pretty fired up by the end of the 4-3 loss. 

If the Guardians don't win the Central, its how mediocre they've been vs a bad Tigers team this year that could be the reason.

[mjp28]

Game 118 - Wed  Aug 17 - DET  (43-73)  vs CLE (61-53) first pitch 7:10 pm.   I like Quantrill tonight.   

Daniel Norris #44 LHP  (0-4★)   ERA 5.97★  44 K   versus   Cal Quantrill #47  RHP   ERA 3.67  86 K

■~~~~~~~>   ⚾    >~~~~~~>     Important game for CLE to keep in 1st place.    Play ball. !

Daniel Norris was a great pitcher once upon a time.   Time to get the offense rolling again. 

....  0-0  bottom 1st.  And Norris hits Rosario HBP.   To the top 2.

....  0-0  bottom 2.  Started hit, HBP, W,  Now bases loaded,  hmmm.  Crap LOB 3.  

....  DET  3-1 top 6.  Norris 3 HBP in 3. Now 4-1 DET playing to win. CLE 28 games in 27 days, tired.

....  DET  4-2  top 8.  CLE two ABs left to split with last place DET.  Baseball is a funny game. 

....  CLE  8 - 4  top 9.  OMG !!!  6 runs in the bottom of the 8th.  The crowd went nuts.  Whew !

...  ✔️....  8-4  FINAL.  Remain in 1st place  -and-  tomorrow is an well deserved  OFF day.

♥︎  See you Friday versus Chicago  at  7:10  pm.   A good evening  everyone.  A classic 8th inning.    

[Dutch Oven]

Man, the G's needed that game! 

I'll give the Tigers credit - its been an absolutely dreadful season for them - but they've gave the Guardians all they could handle this season. Cleveland wins the season series, 10-9.
