August 16 Cleveland Guardians News and Notes

Because of how great Logan Allen was last night, the Guardians offense didn’t have to do much. So they didn’t. But 3 runs was enough, and they won anyways. Kole Calhoun provided 2 of those 3 runs with some help from Mr. Babip.

Allen was great yesterday, but it’s a different Guardians rookie pitcher who leads baseball in K-BB% in August. And no, it’s not the also-excellent Tanner Bibee, either: it’s Gavin Williams.
