The Baseball Trip 2025

Day 3 - Sunday, July 20

We need only a short hop from Avon into Cleveland for a day game. The Guardians are hosting one of the worst teams in Major League Baseball, the Oakland A's.

But first: I forgot to post the counting numbers from yesterday, so here they are:

Casinos - 0

Unique people - 0

Cybertrucks - 0

Maybe that's why I forgot.

The Guardians plated a run in the first and second innings and never looked back. They also scored in the 4th, 7th, and 8th to post an 8-2 victory over the lowly A's.

David Frye, who is batting only .172, drove in a career high four runs. Gavin Williams pitched 7 innings of one-run ball and struck out 11 while walking one.

Here are a few snapshots from Progressive Field in Cleveland:
