It might be the end of May but the Cleveland Guardians are looking like a team that can make an October run. As long as they don't face the Colorado Rockies.

News and Notes for Monday, May 27th, 2024
The Royals finally lost a game, but the Guardians did not.
Andres Gimenez and Johnathan Rodriguez both had two hits, Jose Ramirez had two walks including one of the unintentional-intentional variety with the bases loaded (and a home run robbed by Jo Adell), Ben Lively went seven innings giving up two runs and Emmanuel Clase was dominant again as the Guardians won their ninth straight game 5-4.
The Guardians...
Ben Lively threw seven strong innings and got just enough support from the bullpen to lead the Cleveland Guardians to a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif., completing a three-game sweep and extending their winning streak to nine games.

It’s never a good sign when Myles Straw is the highlight of the offense. Straw went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored to pace the Clippers on Saturday.
No one else reached base safely twice, although Jose Tena also doubled.

The Guardians made the score a little closer at 4-3, but a Jose Ramirez two-run homer was the difference maker as the team found a way to beat the Angels again and keep pace with the torrid Angels.
It is Country Weekend at Angels’ statdium and former LGT writer Tyler Freeman offered an important thread of the Guardians looking awesome while photoshopped as cowboys:

Every day is Fryday
A David Fry all-star campaign certainly wasn’t on my bingo card for the Guardians’ 2024 season.
So far this season, the player I once thought was a platoon bat at best, David Fry, has made a resounding case to be the league’s suprise player. Fry was the player to be named later in the trade that sent then-Indians starting pitcher/reliever J.C. Mejia to the Milwaukee Brewers in November of 2021. Mejia was notoriously bad, sporting an 8.5...

Box Score
The Columbus Clippers fell to the Omaha Storm Chasers (KC) in Friday night’s close matchup.
The lefty Will Dion took the mound going 5.0IP, giving up 5H, 5R, all earned, 1BB, and 3Ks. Dion currently has a 7.36ERA with a 1.72WHIP. After a 1-2-3 inning, the Storm Chasers jumped on Dion in the bottom of the 2nd, scoring 5 before Dion was able to retire the side.
Columbus then turned to RHP...
David Fry began spring training with no guarantees that he would even be on the major league roster when the season started. Now, the first-place Cleveland Guardians call him the "heart and soul" of the team.

News and Notes for Saturday, May 25th, 2024
The Guardians brought their bats to Anahiem and beat the Angels 10-4 on Friday night to open the weekend series and win their seventh straight game.
Jose Ramirez went 2 for 4 with a walk and two home runs, in back to back innings, and the latter as part of a back-to-back-to-back sequence of homers with Josh Naylor and David Fry.
Back-to-back-to-back.
