The Cleveland Guardians begin the final stretch of their season on Tuesday night as they chase a playoff berth and the American League Central title.
The schedule offers no easy path. Cleveland will face the top three starters from the Boston Red Sox and the two best starters from the Kansas City Royals over the remaining games.
The club's Triple-A affiliate, the Columbus Clippers, will remain in Columbus for a "stay hot" camp, keeping players available in case they are needed at the major league level.
Elsewhere around the league, the Toronto Blue Jays lost to the Baltimore Orioles, a result that helps Cleveland's postseason outlook.
