The spring was slipping away on Cal Quantrill before he retired 17 straight Giants as the Guardians threw a combined two-hitter in a 10-0 win Friday night at Scottsdale Stadium. Quantrill posted a 9.90 ERA in his first three Cactus League starts. Quantrill, with a low pitch count, came out for the sixth and struck his former catcher Roberto Perez and retired Stephen Piscotty thanks to a nice running catch by Roman Quinn in left center field.
Offseason headlines: In their first season known as the Guardians, Cleveland led the New York Yankees 2-1 in the American League Division Series before losing Games 4 and 5 against some top-tier New York pitchers. Not much has changed on thisCleveland roster since the final out of that series, leaving the club to run it back and see if it can push further into the playoffs. Signing Josh Bell on a two-year deal adds a bat at first base and designated hitter, though the Guardians will be hoping for the version of Bell that slugged .483 in a year and a half with the Washington Nationals, not the one who slugged .271 upon being traded to the San Diego Padres.
Today Mainly cloudy and cooler; some morning showers along and especially south of I-78; a drier afternoon for all. Tonight Cloudy with another round of rain arriving after midnight; some wet snowflakes may be mixed in at the onset in the Poconos. Tomorrow Cloudy, damp, and chilly with some occasional light rain or rain showers.
