Lineups for May 14, 2024: Game 43 between the Guardians and the Texas Rangers
In Cleveland, Ohio, Ben Lively didn’t deliver his finest performance on the mound, but he showcased remarkable resilience. Initially conceding three runs to the White Sox within the first two innings at Guaranteed Rate Field, he managed to silence their offense until manager Stephen Vogt decided to replace him with two outs in the sixth inning. Despite the Guardians’ 3-1 loss, Lively’s display marked the beginning of a commendable streak for the team’s starting rotation. This trend continued with Tanner Bibee’s impressive 5 1/3 scoreless innings on Monday, contributing to a 7-0 victory over Texas. Over the last five games, Cleveland’s starting pitchers have collectively thrown 30 2/3 innings, averaging six innings per start.
