Cleveland GuardiansvsColorado Rockies
CLE 7/COL 2
Things to say
Cleveland beat Colorado 7-2 at Coors Field on Sunday.
01
opener
Guardians took it 7-2 out in Colorado. Cleveland just kept stacking runs and never really let the Rockies breathe. Business-as-usual road win on a getaway day.
02
key player
The Cleveland bats did the damage early, and their starter got into his stuff and gave them length. When you put up seven at Coors and still cruise, that's the offense clicking top to bottom.
03
hot take
Honestly seven runs at Coors is almost quiet by that ballpark's standards. The story here is Cleveland's arms shutting it down, not the offense.
04
deep cut
Colorado's at 50-80 now and it shows late in games. Cleveland flipping to the bullpen with the lead and getting clean innings is the quiet part that decided it.
05
exit
Anyway, Guardians hanging around .500 at 65-66. Curious if they can keep it rolling next series.
The recap
Cleveland walked into Coors Field and did what good teams do to a fading Rockies club, cruising to a 7-2 win on a getaway day. The Guardians' arms kept Colorado's bats quiet in the thin air, holding them to just two runs in a ballpark where crooked numbers are the norm.
Seven runs of support gave the pitching all the cushion it needed, and Cleveland never let the heart of the order get comfortable. The Rockies fall to 50-80 while the Guards keep hanging around .500 at 65-66.
