The Guardians opened their series in Kansas City on a sour note yesterday, and that's putting it mildly. Tanner Bibee struggled through a disastrous inning, Matt Festa served up a home run, and defensive miscues from Travis Bazzana and Brayan Rocchio only added to the frustration. When your top of the lineup goes just 2-for-24—with both hits being singles—you're not giving yourself much of a chance to win.

Now, the Guardians have a tough task ahead as they face struggling lefties Noah Cameron and Cole Ragans. But don't let their recent struggles fool you—the Royals have been red-hot, winning eight of their last ten games. Cleveland needs to find a way to cool them off and get back on track.

In other AL Central news, Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is dealing with loose bodies in his elbow, which likely means surgery and a return around August at best. It's a tough break for Detroit, but as every baseball fan knows, pitching injuries can happen to any team at any time. The Guardians and Royals will look to build momentum in the meantime.

Tonight, all eyes are on Gavin Williams as he tries to channel his inner ace and snap Cleveland's two-game losing streak. The White Sox took down the Angels, and the Tigers fell to the Red Sox, so the division race remains tight. Let's see if the Guardians can bounce back and make some noise in Kansas City.
