Overall, 13 teams have hit at least twice as many home runs as the Guardians (28), even after Ramírez launched one to dead center and another to the upper deck in right field Sunday. George Valera, a potential power threat for later this summer, landed on the injured list at Triple-A Columbus this weekend with a left hamstring strain. Cleveland has cycled through Oscar Gonzalez, Will Brennan and now Gabriel Arias in right field. The Nationals’ outfielders have hit the second-fewest, with nearly four times that total (11). The Guardians’ outfielders have collectively hit three home runs, the fewest in the majors. For a team that needs to string together singles and walks to score, having an automatic strikeout lurking in the order essentially serves as a black hole that vacuums up any mounting scoring threat. Mike Zunino finally snapped an 0-for-27 (with 21 strikeouts) skid by legging out an infield single Sunday afternoon. Andrés Giménez’s metrics paint a gloomy portrait of a hitter who makes a ton of weak contact and chases a ton of pitches out of the zone. Josh Bell has walked a bunch but offered little punch. Offensively, only José Ramírez (120) carries a wRC+ (weighted runs created, a way to encapsulate a hitter’s overall impact) greater than the league-average mark of 100.

Three one-run losses in which the Guardians were either tied or held the lead in the eighth inning. On Sunday night, a Francisco Lindor checked swing placed the baseball in the perfect spot to spoil Shane Bieber’s masterpiece. On Sunday afternoon, when the Guardians erupted for a four-spot in the eighth inning, their most reliable reliever to this point, Trevor Stephan, handed the Mets the lead in eight pitches. On Friday night, when Cleveland’s offense emerged from a season-long slumber, the bullpen imploded in dramatic fashion, coughing up late leads of 7-3 and 9-7. But it’s how it goes wrong, with a sequence that teases fans into believing that, finally, Cleveland’s fortunes are changing for the better.Įvery Guardians loss follows the most cruel, twisted script a screenplay writer could craft … that is, until the next loss.
