Guardians' Bats Go Silent as Cardinals Soar at Progressive Field

First Inning

The Cleveland Guardians faced off against the St. Louis Cardinals at Progressive Field, with both teams entering the game with contrasting records. The Guardians stood at 40-42, while the Cardinals boasted a 47-38 record. The game concluded with a decisive score of 7-0 in favor of the visiting team, marking another challenging outing for the Tribe.

The first inning set the tone for what would be a tough day for Cleveland's pitching staff. The Cards came out swinging and quickly put up 3 runs on just 2 hits, capitalizing on every opportunity presented by Guardians' starter Logan Allen. Despite Allen's efforts to regain control, his pitches were met with precision by St. Louis batters who showed no mercy early on.

Middle Innings

As the game progressed into its middle innings, both teams settled into their respective rhythms but it was clear that Cleveland struggled to find any offensive momentum against St. Louis’ pitching lineup. By this point in time, neither team managed to add more runs until later innings; however defensive plays kept fans engaged throughout these periods.

Cleveland’s bullpen tried valiantly to contain further damage after Allen exited following six innings pitched where he allowed three earned runs and struck out six batters - an admirable effort despite being overshadowed by lackluster support from his teammates offensively.

On offense though? It seemed like nothing could go right: collectively managing only three hits across nine frames while leaving ten runners stranded overall – truly indicative of how much they missed key opportunities when given chances during crucial moments throughout playtime today!
