CLEVELAND GUARDIANS NEWS

Cody Morris - Strong outing in loss Morris (0-2) took the loss Sunday against Minnesota, allowing a run on six hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.

Impact Morris had the best and longest outing of his big-league career Sunday, allowing just a solo homer and retiring 11 in a row at one point. The 25-year-old had not tossed more than four innings in any of his three previous starts. Control issues had been a cause for concern in his first three appearances, as he walked eight batters in 9.2 innings, but he walked only one batter and threw 63 of his 81 pitches for strikes against Minnesota. His next start will likely be next weekend in Texas.

José Ramírez - Plays well in doubleheader Ramirez went 2-for-9 with three walks, a solo home run and a stolen base as the Guardians swept the Twins in Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact Ramirez hit a solo shot in a 5-1 win in the day game. In the night game, he got aboard four times and recorded a steal. The third baseman has gone 10-for-31 (.323) across his last nine games while adding 10 walks to just four strikeouts. For the season, the 30-year-old is slashing .279/.358/.529 with 28 homers, 112 RBI, 80 runs scored and 16 steals through 141 contests.

Amed Rosario - Eight hits across twin bill Rosario went 8-for-13 with a home run, six RBI and a stolen base as the Guardians swept Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Impact Rosario recorded four hits in each contest, though he had eight at-bats to do so in the 15-inning nightcap. The shortstop nonetheless played a key role in that contest, with a game-tying RBI single in the 13th inning before forcing an error that allowed the Guardians to walk it off in the 15th. With the monster stat line Saturday, he's up to a .283/.314/.403 slash line through 138 contests this year. He's added 10 homers, 14 steals, 64 RBI and 76 runs scored, and he's batting .284 in September as he continues to be a consistent presence in the No. 2 spot in the order.

Kirk McCarty - Snags win in marathon nightcap McCarty (4-2) allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out three over three innings to earn the win in extra innings over the Twins in the second game of Satur...

Impact McCarty was the last man up in the Guardians' bullpen, pitching the 13th through 15th innings. The lone run he allowed came on a Nick Gordon sacrifice fly in the 13th, but Amed Rosario tied the game with an RBI single and then forced an error for the walkoff in the 15th. Through four outings in September, McCarty's covered 9.1 innings, allowing just two runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks. The southpaw has a 4.55 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB through 31.2 innings this season, but he appears on track to finish the year in good form.

Konnor Pilkington - Solid in Saturday's outing Pilkington allowed a hit and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 scoreless innings versus the Twins in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. He did not factor in the de...

Impact Pilkington turned in a strong performance, but he was long out of the game when it was finally decided in the 15th inning. He was tagged for four runs in five innings in his previous start, but this was a much more convincing outing. For the year, he has a 3.88 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 50:32 K:BB through 58 innings across 15 appearances (11 starts) in the majors. With Aaron Civale (forearm) set to return Tuesday, it's unclear if Pilkington will hang around as a reliever or get optioned back to Triple-A Columbus in favor of a fresh arm after Saturday's doubleheader depleted the Guardians' bullpen.

Shane Bieber - Notches 11th win Bieber (11-8) gave up one run on four hits and zero walks while striking out six in eight innings Saturday against the Twins. He picked up the win.

Impact Bieber was in complete control, save for a solo home run from rookie Matt Wallner in the eighth inning on a hanging breaking ball. He has given up exactly one earned run in five of his last six starts. Bieber is on pace to make his next start in Chicago against the White Sox next week.
