Guardians' Recent Form


The Guardians have shown resilience and skill in their recent games, securing victories that highlight their strengths and areas for improvement. In their last game against the Twins, they clinched a win with a 3-2 scoreline after ten innings, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure. Their hitting statistics reveal a team that's finding its rhythm, with an average of .297 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .357 from that game alone. This performance is backed by solid pitching, evidenced by an ERA of 0.9 from their bullpen over ten innings.


However, it hasn't been all smooth sailing for the Guardians; they experienced a tough loss in one of their previous encounters with the Twins, managing only one run to Minnesota's four. Despite this setback, they've maintained consistency in fielding and pitching - areas they'll need to leverage against the Cardinals.
