Triston McKenzie's struggles and not hitting with RISP hurt the Cleveland Guardians in their loss to the Seattle Mariners.
on Tuesday evening, but the opener didn’t go in the Guardians’ favor. Seattle got out to a big lead early on and ended up winning, 8-5.only lasted 2.1 innings, gave up four runs on three hits, walked four batters, and didn’t strike a single batter. This was disappointing considering he had just come off a solid start against the Cincinnati Reds. The issue in this start was clear; McKenzie was struggling to throw strikes and the pitches that were over the plate were crushed.
The Guardians just entered a stretch of 26 games in 27 days. Using six pitchers out of the bullpen certainly isn’t a way to start that grueling schedule.Hitting with runners in scoring position was one of Cleveland’s biggest strengths early in the season. Now, it’s costing them games and their loss against the Mariners is a perfect example of this.
