With Logan Allen coming back today, Gillespie probably departs, but he looked OK and could return again the next time the bullpen needs a fresh arm

Allen could not have started out worse, two homers to first 2 hitters. Then a sloppy job of filling the bases.
And then 4 shutout innings.
If he can ever figure out how to pitch the first inning he could be a pretty good pitcher

I was wondering why Allen did not come out to start the 6th? He was going strong at that time and Smith could have come in at the first sign of trouble.

Seems are pitching has regressed, or the workload is the culprit. Josh Bell, Guardian killer.

Huge outing by Gavin Williams last night to get the win.

Relievers back to normal.

Meanwhile the DBacks beat Philly 11-1 last night - they are scorching hot and may somewhat explain their hitting vs. Cleveland. They are hitting everyone.

Huge win !

And another one to salvage the split of the series - on the road no less.

And every bit as important Bibee is back and looking like himself.

JOSH Naylor won't see much to hit tonight. Thomas is back in the lineup hitting 5th of all things, with a righty on the mound
53 plate appearances and his RBI total this season is equal to Albert Belle's total this year; tied with many others in 2024 Cleveland run production too including such other big names as Lou Boudrean, Larry Doby and Richie Scheinblum.

and hitting seventh Tyler Freeman

Bo Naylor has to worry about his own hitting. He has sucked !

I expect Thomas to have a good night. maybe a home run even.

It's time; I named the wrong Naylor in my post, it's Josh who hits before Lane. I edited it.

Josh Naylor almost swings at everything.

One of those swings netted our only run.

Also of note: Thomas with a hit and a walk.

Twins win, we're up 2 games.

Now the Yankees. It's all first place or equivalent competition
Where are the WhiteSox when we need them.

Brennan hitting 4th ! Geez !

Guards 14 walks but only 12 hits.
Yanks. 9 walks but only 7 hits.
