| 9/15/24 | Ben Lively, Guardians stifle Rays 2-0 to split series. Ben Lively pitched five strong innings and four relievers didn't yield a baserunner as the host Cleveland Guardians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0 on Sunday to split their four-game set. Lively (12-9) showed no ill effects of taking a liner off the thigh against the Chicago White Sox earlier this week, allowing four hits - all singles - and one walk. Despite Lively's low pitch count (59), Guardians manager Stephen Vogt immediately went to his bullpen where Cade Smith, Tim Herrin, Hunter Gaddis and Emmanuel Clase (45th save) were stellar, striking out seven.
