As we look towards the upcoming game against the Rockies, maintaining strong pitching will be key for the Guardians. The team's ability to limit opponents' scoring through effective strikeouts and minimizing walks will be crucial elements of their strategy.


On offense, continuing to leverage high batting averages and converting hits into runs will be essential for building early leads and applying pressure on the Rockies' pitchers.
