Ramirez’s Guardians to End Losing Streak

Although the Guardians have struck as solid on their home field, they have dropped their level when playing on the road. The Guardians went 0-3 against the New York Yankees. Cleveland dropped a 10-2 loss to New York in their last game. 

Now it’s all about pulling themselves back up, although the Angles might be the perfect rivals for the Guardians to face. Still, Cleveland will need to struggle to revert their inability to turn out with more successful results when playing on the road. 

Jose Ramirez continues to lead the Guardians on all fronts. Ramirez is now holding on to a .362 batting average, four home runs, and 20 runs batted in. Shane Bieber has also covered the Guardians on the pitching end with 16 strikeouts.  

Trout’s Angels Off to a Solid Start 

The Angels are off to a solid start this season. As of now, the Angels have only dropped two games in a row on two different occasions.

In addition, their most recent series over the Orioles finished with them winning 2-1. Still, the Angels have plenty of games ahead to continue getting better.

L.A. is now close to taking over the AL West and is just a win behind the Mariners. However, this feat will demand more consistency when playing both at home and when heading on the road. 

For the Angels, Mike Trout has covered the batting end throughout the season. Trout is now leading with a .333 batting average and four home runs. Shohei Ohtani has also done his part by nailing 26 strikeouts.
