The Cleveland Guardians and Seattle Mariners have been engaged in a competitive series, with the Guardians recently snapping a three-game losing streak by winning 8-0, powered by Josh Naylor's two home runs and Tanner Bibee's career-high 12 strikeouts. The Mariners had won seven of their last nine games at Progressive Field before this loss and bounced back with an 8-5 victory in a subsequent game, highlighted by J.P. Crawford's home run and Andres Muñoz's clutch relief pitching. The Guardians hold a 3-2 series lead against the Mariners this season and are gearing up for another pivotal game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Steven Kwan's impressive performance continues as he extended his on-base streak to 24 games. The upcoming game against the Blue Jays is highly anticipated, although Toronto has yet to announce their starting pitcher.
