Matthew Boyd will be the starting pitcher your Chevy Network dealer starting pitcher tonight making his third start now Andre talked about how he didn't have his off speed stuff in his last start he threw 55% strikes in his last start so he didn't have the command but you know you couldn't top his first start against the Cubs when he he threw 80 pitches he threw 76% strikes he had everything working so hopefully he can come back home and do that same thing here against the Texas Rangers Marcus semi and deleted off hit High in the air center field going back is Lane Thomas and makes the grab just onto the front part of the warning Tru and here's their most dangerous hitter Cory Seager got in on him that might be the longest that b up you've seen before Seager took a swing right there two down now Robbie Gman swing and a miss Matthew Boyd strikes him out and the Rangers go one two three the Guardians are coming to B Bradford who has been really good this year getting a chance to take on a tough Guardians lineup one of the things Bradford's been so good at is preventing the walk he's walked just six batters in 43 Innings this year Bradford missed outside nice out patience allall four and the lead off man aboard for Cleveland a six pitch walk Juan's aboard for Lane Thomas shattered the bat Bradford grabs it goes to Second threw it away Juan on his way to third there's a break right there you know it's okay if he's going to go to second but what he did he rushed the throws but watch the throw he spikes it and just went into the ground he didn't set himself change up grip yep he was in the palm of his hand I believe yeah but sem in called for the heater now Jose Ramirez running is Thomas and Jose pops one in the left center field Lankford is over to make the catch tagging and coming home with the game's first run of Steven Quan one- nothing Guardians RBI Number 103 for Jose Ramirez what do you know they scored first that's a nice sign right there only the second time in the Guardians last 20 games that they have struck first swinging a Miss he chased one upstairs fast ball well above the letters in the air to Center lingford jogs in and he's got it to end the inning the Guardians get on the board ad DOI Garcia the right fielder we ground ball to short follow up by Freeman and then he dropped the ball so an error open is the inning for Texas here's Josh Young oh had him picked they got oh he got nailor too might Josh NAA to reach back and get the tag on him I didn't know if he was able to get him he swung that arm back and got him right underneath the arm I think before he could get back and look like yeah he got him because he's not going to challenge see he got a pick John Kenzie Noel is playing in just his 41st game of the year but he's already up there among the American leag rookie home run leaders deep center field back is lford he's out of room it's out of here big Christmas strikes again for his sixth home run in the last 11 games and Cleveland with a two nothing lead and the big man just keeps producing that is number 12 now so he has been on a roll zekiel Durant coming up gets that well Quan racing over he Dives and makes an unbelievable catch to retire the side Juan the gold Glover laying out and he steals a hit away from Duram here's Lane Thomas o for one this pitch on the inside corner for a called third strike so Thomas rung up here for the second out of the G two down and Jose Ramirez coming up hit hard Fair ball over the bag Durant long throw but Jos beats it out flying down the line his helmet came off and almost clipped the first basem low in the process I'll tell you that's a heck of a play by Durant no doubt I mean he comes out just to make a throw and that went right over the bag and that's as deep as you can get he's going away he had to plant to throw but Jose gets down the line too well Jose's running pitches up high throw down is high and Jose has stolen base number 31 Jose does break for third pitch is outside he's got another steel fry draws ball for AR she 30 30 30 man that's 30 two on the year for Ramirez well the left-hander didn't want to keep him there so he's just off and running he gets in there but he walked fry now he's got to face n and Fry Off to the Races he's going for second but now Ramirez breaking home seager's throw he got him the Guardians attempted some trickery but the Rangers were ready for it Seager with the dart H the tag and it keeps the Guardians off the board in the third Cory Seager the batter swing and a miss he got him to go fish and Strikes him out second k for Matthew Boyd and with two down adolis Garcia to the plate and a we round ball to Jimenez he'll go to First and another scoreless frame for Matthew Boyd Midway through the fourth two nothing Cleveland Josh Young flyed to right his first time up as young shoots one through the right side off base hit for the Rangers for the second straight inning here comes the onew from Boyd swing and a miss strike three low down on strikes brings up Wyatt Langford smokes this one to left Center Thomas back track and he's got it Young's going to try and tag for second Thomas's throw is offline young had to alter his route to avoid the baseball and avoid Jimenez but that's a heads up play by Josh young little things right murf I mean we might not talk about that the rest of the game but if Jaheim gets a two out single here that becomes a really big decision and Heim sends one of the alley Tomas Miss unable to catch it he fumbles around young scores him up to Second and the Rangers are on the board against Matthew Boyd in the fifth lead off base runner aboard for Texas Cory Seager coming up as the go-ahead Run oh the first pitch and that got Cory you could possibly hear him react and he thinks it's a hit by pitch but don't play umpire Tom Hanahan I think is saying that he swung and that it's not a hit by pitch good sign he's going to stay in there Seager grounds one up the middle himz cuts it off goes to Second for one Freeman's return throw not quite in time just wasn't hit hard enough and it just didn't look right he jammed him and got him off the bat which he didn't give that free pass and you get the speed off the bases now oh yeah nice pitch locked him up with that good he saved that for later in the count normally he throws that curveball early in the count he picked the right time to back door that breaking ball and he locked him up popped him up on the infield Andre Jimenez makes the grab Midway through the sixth it remains 2-1 Cleveland yeah let's go Guardians big Christmas will lead it off for the Guardians John Kenzie Noel chased one in the dirt gets Jahim grabs it throws and big Christmas is aboard there's your break a wild pitch you're going to get your lead off man aboard on The Swinging Miss Andre simz 0 for two HZ squares bunts it back to the pitcher durand's only play at first and the sacrifice gets John Kenzie in the scoring position will Brennan as a bat in the on Deck Circle left field shallow in comes grman it'll drop that's all right the third is Noel you had to make sure absolutely you had to make sure Brennan gets the base in now you got it first and third the dirt it gets away and the run will score brenon down to Second as John Kenzie crosses on plate and for the second time today the Rangers have gifted Cleveland to run how about that I mean that's unbelievable started with a strike out the wild pitch and he comes around because of a pickoff move for whatever reason 3-1 it hits Brennan at Ricochet pass low here you go and that will bring up Cory Seager he hammers this one to left field Quan back turns looks and that one is out of here career home run 199 for Cory Seager and it brings the Rangers to within a run David fry is over for two with the one hit high and deep to left lford back looking up G to souvenir City David fry restores the Guardians two-run Advantage with his 13th home run of the year how about that he tried to sneak that fast ball by him and he got ready a Manuel class 37 saves on the year leading the American League going to have to go through number four five and six Garcia young and low bring him up strike three called and no argument from adoli scarcia swing and a miss he blew it by him 100 milph two down in the the Texas KN adding insult to the way the trade played out for Texas not only did they only get one inning from Cory cluver because he got hurt in that first ever start but then he went to the Yankees and threw a no hitter against Texas book it a series win for the Guardians and the league leading 38th save of the year for class Matthew Boyd the winner he tastes victory for the first time since June 21st of a year ago
