Guardians News: Three Positives From the Week of July 5th

As we head into the All-Star break, the Guardians left us on a high note with plenty to be excited for.

Break Out the Brooms

Heading into the weekend's series versus the Miami Marlins, I'll admit I was worried. The Marlins were on a six-game win streak, sweeping both the Athletics and the Seattle Mariners. That streak was stopped in its tracks as soon as the Guards came to town as they turned the tables and swept the Marlins. Friday's series opener was a close one, the Guards taking the 3-2 victory thanks to a two-run home run by Chase DeLauter and a sacrifice fly by Travis Bazzana. There was a little more breathing room in Saturday's game, a 4-1 victory thanks to a pair of two-run doubles by Steven Kwan and Patrick Bailey. Other than a ninth inning run given up by closer Cade Smith, Sunday's series finale was a breeze. A 5-2 win courtesy of three RBI singles and two home runs secured the sweep.
