Gotta love Kwan's team mentality: “I try to let our guys see more pitches. ... There’s only so much I can do in a leadoff at-bat. But if I can set the tone for everybody else, that’s really important,” Kwan said.
There was nothing tangible to show on the scoreboard from Kwan’s leadoff strikeout, but Ramirez and Josh Bell followed with consecutive walks. It was a sign that Friday night’s version of Ray was not the same as the one who held Cleveland scoreless for 13 innings last season.The Guardians, trailing 1-0, took a 3-1 lead in the second. Kwan delivered the third run with a sacrifice fly.
It wasn’t all high fives for Kwan. He ran into an equipment malfunction in the fourth inning. It wasn’t as daring as Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl, but it gave Seattle a run. “On that one the ball went all the way in the glove. I didn’t get a great read, got turned round a little bit. But the ball hit the glove. As an outfielder if the ball hits your glove, it should be caught.”
“That’s Guardians baseball,” said Kwan. “It’s exciting, even when you’re up a couple of runs. That’s our guy . That’s the guy at the helm. Rookie right-hander Hunter Gaddis lasted just 3 2/3 innings, but the bullpen produced 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
