The Cleveland Guardians didn’t have any ammunition left over from Friday night, as the Pittsburgh Pirates scored a 3-0 win at Progressive Field on Saturday.

The Guardians had unloaded their arsenal in a 10-8 win to open the series.

If you want a silver living, Guardians starter Matthew Boyd (1-1) looked great again.

He pitched six innings and gave up four hits and a run. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out eight.

Boyd stepping up as a reliable starter is an encouraging sign for Cleveland’s postseason chances.

LET’S GET ROWDY

Andrew McCutchen put the Pirates on the board in the fourth inning with a bloop single to right, scoring Nick Gonzales.

Cleveland could not generate any offense against Luis Ortiz (6-4). He had a no-hitter until Bo Naylor singled in the fourth.

Josh Naylor doubled in the seventh for Cleveland’s only other hit.

Rowdy Telez drove in the Pirates’ other two runs on a bases-loaded single in the eighth inning.

Kansas City and Minnesota both lost, so the Guardians are ahead of those teams in the AL Central by 2½ and 3½ games, respectively.

SUNDAY SHOWDOWN

Cleveland and Pittsburgh will meet again on Sunday afternoon, but it’s not football season quite yet.

Alex Cobb (1-1) will start for the Guardians, while the Pirates will counter with Mitch Keller (11-8). First pitch is set for 1:40 p.m.
