CLEVELAND, Ohio — Despite a series-opening loss to the Padres on Tuesday, the middle of Cleveland’s lineup continued to make progress coming off an electric homestand against Boston and Houston. Josh Naylor and Josh Bell each had multiple hits behind Jose Ramirez and kept the Guardians in the game until the very end.
On Wednesday’s podcast, Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga look at how Naylor, Bell and the rest of those who hit behind Jose have picked things up in the last several weeks, and what it could mean for Cleveland’s pursuit of Minnesota in the AL Central.
