Guardians' ace helps Cleveland improve playoff chances
Gavin Williams turned in 5.1 innings of scoreless baseball, and the Guardians' bullpen gave up just one run. Williams has become the clear-cut ace of the Guardians this season, and he can put the team on his back every fifth day down the stretch. Just 38 games remain in the season.
Profar’s two-run homer off Nic Enright in the sixth inning was enough for the Atlanta Braves to beat the Guardians, 5-4, and complete a three-game sweep of the home team. The Guardians, who were one of baseball’s hottest teams a minute ago, have lost five of their last seven games.
Michael Harris II homered and doubled, Nacho Alvarez Jr. and Nick Allen each had three hits and the Atlanta Braves beat the Cleveland Guardians 10-1.

The Guardians are 8 1/2 games back in the AL Central and 3 1/2 behind the Yankees for the third wild card spot.
The Guardians have been one of MLB’s hottest teams over the last few weeks, primarily because of the offense. Cleveland had a team slash line of 251/.326/.421 from the All-Star Break heading into their series against the Braves. However, Atlanta found a way to shut the Guardians’ bats down.
