Young Players Helping Guardians To Wins

The Cleveland Guardians are getting contributions from nearly everyone on their roster these days, and Friday night was a perfect example. Pitcher Cody Morris picked up his first major league win in his fifth start in the majors and outfielder Will Brennan had two RBIs in his third career game at this level to help the Guardians to a 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers.

“That’s just contagious offense and that’s what we have here,” Brennan said after Friday’s win. “It’s so much fun. It’s a blast.”

The 24-year-old Brennan made his major league debut on Wednesday.

Right-hander Cal Quantrill will be on the mound. Quantrill is 13-5 with a 3.56 ERA in 29 starts, striking out 116 in 169⅓ innings. He got a win in his last start against the Minnesota Twins on Monday, going 5⅓ innings and allowing three runs on nine hits while striking out two and walking one. He’s 9-0 over his last 14 starts, with Cleveland winning 13 of those starts.

Rangers Trying To Stay Competitive

The Texas Rangers were playing competitively on Friday night, leading the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 before a five-run sixth inning by Cleveland ended up being the difference. Texas is just 32-43 at home this season.

Right-hander Glenn Otto will get the start. Otto is 6-9 with a 4.88 ERA in 24 starts in 2022, striking out 92 and walking 58 over 118 innings of work. He had a rough outing in his last start, lasting just 3⅓ innings against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday and allowing four runs on seven hits, including two home runs, while striking out three and walking none.

Newly-signed Kevin Plawecki had an RBI single in Friday’s loss, his debut with the Rangers. Plawecki was released by the Boston Red Sox last weekend and signed with Texas on Wednesday.
