Matthew Boyd had a great start for the Cleveland Guardians despite losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
will play a rubber match on Sunday afternoon as the Pirates won the second game of their series, 1-0.Matthew Boyd has been the best part of Cleveland's second half of the season. He's been phenomenal since he came off the injured list after rehabbing from Tommy John surgery last year, and he put together another fantastic start on Saturday.
Lane Thomas was the next man up and hit a towering fly ball to left field. For a second, it looked like the ball was going to deflect off the wall, but Bryan Reynolds made a tremendous leaping catch. Cleveland's offense has remained inconsistent since the All-Star Break, and runs have been hard to come by. This makes the little things, such as baserunning, the difference between wins and losses.The Guardian's offense had no answer for Luis Ortiz all night as he found a groove with his four-seam fastball, cutter, sinker, and slider pitch mix. Cleveland only collected one hit off Ortiz, a single in the fifth inning, thanks to Bo Naylor.
