Guardians Face Padres Fire Test | Cleveland News

The Guardians are in a slump, getting shut out and scoring just four hits in their last series — but they’ve got a big test ahead. The surging Padres, winners of 15 of their last 20, are rolling into town with a stingy pitching staff and a strong grip on the wild card race. Cleveland’s offense is sputtering, and they’ll need to dig deep — no more relying on homers against a team that crushes extra-base hits. Starting pitchers Joey Cantillo, Gavin Williams, and Tanner Bibee must go the distance with an unreliable bullpen. Game one is Friday night at 7:10 PM ET. If they don’t respond now, playoff dreams could vanish. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
