The Cleveland Guardians continue to lead the AL Central with a five-game advantage over the Kansas City Royals, having a magic number of six to clinch the division following a loss to the Minnesota Twins. Rookie Kyle Manzardo's dramatic home run in a comeback victory against the Twins has highlighted the team's strong camaraderie, which manager Stephen Vogt praised during an emotional postgame discussion. Additionally, the Guardians have promoted Andrew Walters, a promising pitcher, to the major league roster, after he demonstrated impressive statistics in the minors. Walters, who previously played for the University of Miami and was drafted by Cleveland, has already made an impact with two scoreless outings. As the playoffs approach, the Guardians are focusing on solidifying their pitching rotation amidst questions about their starters' reliability. With the postseason on the horizon, the Guardians aim to maintain their momentum and camaraderie.
