Guardians, Red Sox Set for Saturday Doubleheader

The Cleveland Guardians are set to host the Boston Red Sox for a three-game series, with the opener postponed due to rain and rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday. Cleveland comes in strong, having taken two of three from the Yankees and boasting a 7-2 home record, while Boston looks to rebound from back-to-back losses. Ben Lively and recently called-up Doug Nikhazy are expected to start for Cleveland in the doubleheader, while Boston will counter with Tanner Houck, who has a solid career ERA against the Guardians despite a rocky start to this season. Key performers include Cleveland's Jose Ramirez, who has excelled at home against Boston, and Boston's Alex Bregman, who is on a hot streak at the plate. The series marks the first meeting between the two teams this season, with both squads seeking to climb in their respective divisions. The Guardians currently hold a 14-10 record, while the Red Sox are 14-13.
