Slade Cecconi made the declaration of the century on July 4, when the Guardians lost their 8th straight game.

"We're going to see ourselves in a great spot at the end of the season. I fully believe that.”

All they did is make history.

Rhys Hoskins' two-run double makes it 6-4 Guardians.

Chase DeLauter delivers a game-tying two-run single in the eighth.

A welcomed return for the Guardians.

The Guardians have activated Chase DeLauter off the IL.

Petey Halpin optioned to Columbus.

Vogt said postgame that Guardians are going to check out Watson, but the hope he's ready to go Sunday. Schneemann took over for him in the ninth inning. Vogt called Watson's exit "precautionary."

[Tim Stebbins @tim_stebbins]

Kahlil Watson got evaluated by a trainer after making a diving attempt in right field here in the sixth inning. Appeared to be a left hand/wrist issue. He's still in the game.

A huge homer that all of a sudden makes this one here in Cleveland interesting late.

[Tim Stebbins @tim_stebbins]

Travis Bazzana switched one of his walk-up songs to "Vienna" by Billy Joel this homestand. He just scored from first on a Brayan Rocchio double into the left-field corner.

No slowing down there.

[Tim Stebbins @tim_stebbins]

That was just the first error made by Kyle Manzardo this season. He entered today with an 0 Outs Above Average, a steady improvement from 2025 (-3).

[Tim Stebbins @tim_stebbins]

Behold, Cooper Ingle's first career hit and RBI(s).
