Overview

• The 9-0 loss to the Rays in Cleveland marked a third consecutive shutout, with Tampa Bay standout Junior Caminero—once a Guardians prospect—doing damage.
• Manager Steven Vogt voiced clear frustration, saying the club needs to hit and score more as the offense continues to stall.
• The Guardians own a .664 team OPS, a .224 batting average, and the third-fewest runs (501) in MLB this season, according to The Sporting News.
• Cleveland has been blanked 15 times, tying the Pirates for the most in MLB, and the current scoreless stretch is listed as 27 innings by The Sporting News and 28 by the Plain Dealer.
• Only José Ramírez, Steven Kwan, Kyle Manzardo and C.J. Kafus have an OPS above .700, and local analysis argues the front office should target veteran bats after the season with roughly a month left to play.
