How Starters Unleash a Secret Strategy to Silence the Opposition’s Power Hitters
The Guardians are just 15-12, so it isn’t like they are lighting the AL Central on fire. Last year they were chased by the Royals, Tigers, and even the Twins, but they also won the division. It never truly felt like they were in a ton of jeopardy with the division. They are playing fairly well at home this season with an 8-4 record. The team isn’t hitting overly well, batting just .237 for the season and they’ve only scored 107 runs. These numbers are pretty much in line with the Twins offensive production. The Guardians are also struggling on the mound with a 4.37 team ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. Gavin Williams is taking the mound for Cleveland. Williams is 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. This will be his sixth start of the season. In his two home starts, he has gone 11.1 innings and allowed a total of 3 earned runs. The Guardians have won both of those games. He has also done a great job of holding the Twins to limited success, going 4-for-23 against him.
