Cleveland GuardiansvsTexas Rangers
CLE 0/TEX 10
Things to say
Texas Rangers shut out the Cleveland Guardians 10-0 at Globe Life Field.
01
opener
Rangers absolutely steamrolled Cleveland, 10-zip. Total laugher at Globe Life. The Guardians never had a pulse.
02
key player
Whoever Texas ran out there got into his stuff early — Cleveland's bats looked late on everything.
03
hot take
Guardians are 37-30 and supposed to be the better team. Getting no-hit on the scoreboard like that? Something's off in that clubhouse.
04
deep cut
Texas hung a ten-spot and Cleveland never went to the long man — manager basically waved the white flag on a getaway day.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Guardians bounce back next series — hard to look worse than that.
The recap
Rangers took Cleveland to the woodshed in Arlington, 10-0, and it wasn't competitive past the third. Texas put a crooked number up early and never let the Guardians breathe, with the starter cruising on cheap outs while the lineup just kept turning over.
Cleveland's bullpen got cooked once the manager went to the pen too early, and the heart of the order had nothing all afternoon. Ugly getaway day for a Guardians club that's been the better team all year, but tonight Texas left no doubt.
