12 hits; and 2-14 with RISP and 12 LOB. Progress of a sort.

A bit of time off might be good for Kwan. His glove is valuable though. Is the same true for Jose? His July is worse
In July 261/292/362.

Ramirez in July: 239/282/299. No homers. 4 RBI
Naylor in July: 220/303/356 He does have 10 RBI

Twins and Royals lose. 5.5 games behind.

Despite all the adversity over the past 3 weeks, the Guardians still have the second best record in baseball.
The Twins and Royals all in the top 10

Rodriguez was 4-4, 3 Runs, 2 RBI, Average up to .309

Kwan and Ramirez with their best games in weeks: for Jose his first homer in 78 at bats.
Some sloppy fielding kept it close.

David Fry has not homered since the end of MAY. His line in June and July totals
114 5 26 7 9 doubles; 9 walks; 29 strikeouts
228/284/307 591 OPS

the elbow injury came in the middle of that period. but the light hitting preceded it.
great guy and great story but on the other hand.....

Curry did OK, Smith was terrific again; Clase wiped em out again. Passed Wickman, now closing in on Allen's team career saves record

Rocchio last 19 at bats, 1 single; 3 walks; 8 strikeouts
Remember the surplus of shortstops?
Can any of them win the job other than by default?
Tena with his 17th double yesterday in Columbus, matches his 17 homers and his 17 errors.
Terry Pluto podcast yesterday says; it's Tena Time.

Terry also wonders why they don't use Martinez at SS. He's not quite adept in CF. Freeman handled the position well; he's yet another middle infielder who hasn't managed to hit in the majors.

No comments after 2 well played1 run wins in a row. It sounds like Bibee's cramp won't cost him his next start

Spent a pleasant afternoon at Progressive Field. Nice time with friends. Lunch was pretty good.
Hardly anything occurred on the field.
1 3 run homer and a handful of other base runners.
Got home bright and early

Kwan hit everything in the air. Not his style.
Brennan is hitless since he returned from injury
Doubles by Josh, Noel and Jose. Fry, Rocchio, Schneemann and Brennan left they standing on second.

Williams threw one fat pitch, fanned 9
Avila and Strzelecki were fine.

Official attendance 32,867. It didnt look quite that full.

Nowhere near ready for the majors, Cantillo held the Phils to 2 Schwaber homers and 3 runs' could have been worse but Cade Smith bailed him out

About the only guy on the G's who's hit homers in July, JK Noel with his 6th in 59 at bats; blast with 2 men on tied the score at 3.
2 on in scoring position in the 6th but Freeman harmlessly grounds out.

Kwan with the go ahead blast. Bullpen excels again with 5 2/3 shutout innings. How about a collective Cy Young award.

In what no one called a preview of the World Series, the AL leaders took 2 of 3 from the NL leaders in the latter's home
