Cleveland Guardians maintain American League wildcard lead despite loss to Orioles

The Cleveland Guardians hold the third American League wildcard spot following a series of results across the league. Despite a loss to the Baltimore Orioles, the team benefits from a Toronto Blue Jays defeat at the hands of the Oakland Athletics. Pitcher Joey Cantillo struggled in his appearance during the Baltimore contest. Looking ahead to the September 8 schedule, Tanner Bibee is slated to start for Cleveland. The organization has also adjusted its minor league roster, promoting infielder Welbyn Fransisca and right-handed pitcher Cam Schuelke to the Double-A Akron team following the conclusion of the Lake County Captains season. These roster moves provide both players with experience at the Double-A level for the remainder of the schedule.
