It started raining early in his start, and that really seemed to mess with him. His velocity was down and his command was bad. Despite that, he managed to go 4 innings giving up only 1 run.
Walked 5, struckout 4. The Guardians scored right away when Kwan hit a lead off double down the 3rd base line. DeLauter moved Kwan over with a groundout.
In a strange sequence of events, Jose grounded to short, which Kwan tried to score on, but tripped halfway down the line, then got into a rundown and eventually got tagged out at third. Jose got to second, though, which proved crucial when Manzardo drove him in with an RBI single right after. Manzardo was 2/2 today.
