Bibee's Mixed Bag: Guardians' Hot Streak

0:00On April 23rd, Tanner Bobby's kicking off the 2026 MLB season with some highs and lows for the Cleveland Guardians. Through six starts, he's sitting at a 4.45 ERA, but he's bounced back strongly, like that scoreless six innings against the Baltimore Orioles on April 17th, fast forward to the rubber match against the Houston Astros at Progressive Field. Bobby crews through the middle innings, but that first frame stung when Jordan Alvarez crushed a hanging curveball 420 feet for A. Homer after a double by Carlos Corea. Bobby owned it postgame, calling it a poor execution on the right pitch call, while manager Stephen Vote praised the rest of his effort as excellent. The dude locked down Houston's hot bats after that, allowing just three hits, two walks, and two strikeouts. Stats wise, commands his main bugaboo, leading to five homers allowed in a 1.451 HIP with opponents hitting 275.

1:00Against him, still mentally he's showing growth by shaking off the bat and moving forward. The Guardians are rolling at 14 wins and 12 losses, one of baseball's hottest squads. It bybe dials in that ERA under 4 and tightens his whip to the 1.2 range, their prime to climb even higher. From around the league, powered by AI, this is MLB News Today. I'm Cory with the story.
