Guardians Blank Brewers 5-0 In Series Opener

The Cleveland Guardians shut out the Milwaukee Brewers 5-0 in the series opener, with Gabriel Arias driving in three runs and José Ramírez stealing three bases to help secure the win. Five Cleveland pitchers combined on the shutout, with starter Ben Lively leaving early due to forearm inflammation and the bullpen pitching the remainder of the game. The Brewers' Freddy Peralta took the loss after giving up four runs in just over five innings, while Milwaukee struggled offensively, with Jake Bauers being the only player to record multiple hits. Despite the loss, the Brewers plan to start Quinn Priester in the next game, who has shown potential despite inconsistencies this season. Ramírez's three stolen bases marked a career highlight, moving him to third on the franchise's all-time list. The Guardians snapped a two-game losing streak and look to continue their momentum in the series.
