Natalie: A tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the ninth. A walk-off win to keep them atop the AL Central. And now, they have to do it again against the same team.
Scott: It’s a repeat matchup. Cleveland just beat Boston 3-2 on Tuesday night thanks to Nathaniel Lowe, and tonight is game two of this three-game set at Fenway Park.
Natalie: Welcome to the Beatline Podcast Network! I’m Natalie, and this is your daily home for everything Cleveland Guardians. We are live from the network studio, and I am joined by my analyst Scott, who is ready to break down this critical series. Scott, what a way to close out the day yesterday. The Guardians are sitting first in the AL Central at 82-75, but Boston isn’t far behind.
Scott: That’s right. Boston is 84-73, sitting third in the AL East. The gap is slim. Every game matters now as we head toward the playoff picture. Tonight, the Guardians travel back to Fenway for the second game of this series. We’re going to talk about who starts on the mound, how the bullpen handles the late innings, and whether that offensive spark from last night can continue.
