This content was created by a team that works independently from the FOX newsroom.The Cleveland Guardians are not known for putting up a ton of runs.The team finished 24th in baseball in runs scored this year.
Most of their success was built on quality pitching and manufacturing runs.The team was only 27th in the league in home runs, so it wasn't like they were getting a ton of runs from putting the ball over the fence.
Last night, they did a little bit of everything.After being held scoreless, they hit a solo homer in both the sixth and seventh innings to tie the game.
