Logan Allen took a 105 mph line drive off the head and stayed in the game on Monday for Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — What began as a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad start for Logan Allen turned into something special, even if the Guardians went on to
He issued back-to-back walks to Jake McCarthy and Eugenio Suarez to load the bases, but got Kevin Newman to pop out to left field. After regrouping in the dugout, Allen returned to the mound for the second inning and went on to retire 13 of the next 14 Arizona hitters he faced, finishing his outing by setting down the final 10 in a row. He struck out a pair and allowed just one hit over his final four frames, and his effort kept Cleveland in the contest against Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen.
“Stood up, Nayls was right there, obviously, making sure I was good,” Allen said. “All things considered, I’m thankful. It got me, I guess in a good spot. Thankful to have made it through and been able to make it out.” “Knowing Logan, he’s a mental warrior,” Naylor said. “He’s a good guy who can kind of get himself back to earth and understand the things that he needs to do, and try to have as little thoughts as possible. He did a really good job after that first inning to get back to the identity he’s created for himself and just to continue to go out there and compete.”
