Guardians Dominate Rangers Behind Bibee’s Gem

Texas, USA; Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee (28) pitches in the second inning against the Texas Rangers

The offense came alive tonight but the story of the game was Tanner Bibee’s phenomenal outing. He tossed 8 scoreless innings and had only 87 pitches, I really wish they would’ve game him a chance to complete the Maddux. He lowered his ERA all the way down to 4.09 from this outing. If Bibee can find this version of himself more consistently, the version we’ve seen for years, this team will be a force in the playoffs.

The offense was super fun to watch tonight, there were contributions from nearly everyone. Jose hit his team leading 10th HR of the season. Rocchio hit a bomb off the foul pole in a 2-4 effort. DeLauter and Schneemann also both had two hits. Manzardo had a double and two walks. It was super nice to see the offense have a game like this.

The Guardians will look to win the series tomorrow. It will be Joey Cantillo vs Jacob DeGrom at 2:35 pm ET.
