With the looming threat of a series sweep, the Cleveland Guardians headed into today\u2019s matinee game against the Tampa Bay Rays only two games above .500. Parker Messick was about as great as you could ever hope from a starter, but what is quickly becoming the norm for the rookie lefty. Messick went 7.2 innings of one run ball. He allowed six hits and struck out six. A funky pop bunt in the bottom of the sixth accounted for the sole run in an otherwise scoreless game.<\/p>\n

Colin Holderman<\/a> finished the eighth inning, getting the final out behind back-to-back challenges from catcher Austin Hedges<\/a> that overturned two ball calls to strikes.<\/p>\n

There wasn\u2019t much in terms of highlights for this game, period. Especially so for Cleveland\u2019s offense. Kyle Manzardo<\/a> made a great leaping grab in the beginning of the game to end the third.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the looming threat of a series sweep, the Cleveland Guardians headed into today\u2019s matinee game against the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[144351,3820,144352,47,109160,109157,144350,199,135,3815,137,136,8125],"class_list":["post-353131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-austin-hedges","tag-cleveland-guardians","tag-colin-holderman","tag-fl","tag-kyle-manzardo","tag-parker-messick","tag-scoreless-game","tag-st-petersburg","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-bay-rays","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news","tag-tropicana-field"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
