The Guardians looked like they might be sellers after a 10-game skid but an 11-2 stretch has them back into the Wild Card race. So are they a buyer?

The Kansas City Royals' series opener against the visiting Cleveland Guardians was postponed Friday due to inclement weather.

Terry Francona, who managed Cleveland from 2013 to 2023, saw the franchise change its legendary name - but it was a move he remains happy about.

Despite two homers from Steven Kwan on Thursday, the Guardians lost to the Orioles 4-3, but won the series 3-1. Cleveland is 5-2 in the seven games since the All-Star break and will go to Kansas City for a three-game series.

Steven Kwan came through with the go-ahead RBI single in the eighth, and the Guardians beat the Orioles to earn win No. 11 in their last 13 games.

That includes Texas A&M outfielder Jace LaViolette, their first-round pick. The 6-foot-6, 230-pound LaViolette, who just underwent hand surgery, received a $4 million signing bonus, which was above his slot value of $3.38 million. The Guardians selected him with the 27th pick in the first round.
