N&N for July 9
The Guardians had a 6-1 lead last night against one of the best 3 pitchers in the AL. Weird, right? Maybe not as weird as the things that happened next.
Joey Cantillo faced Cam Smith, who had been owning him, for a 3rd time. Smith owned him again.
Hunter Gaddis was brought in for a 3rd day in a row. He looked like it.
Will Wilson pinch hit for Nolan Jones.
Jonathan Rodriguez pinch hit for Daniel Schneemann.
Brayan Rocchio hit a home run deep into the crowd.
Angel Martinez hit a grand slam off Josh Hader.
Steven Kwan played center field.
