Texas Rangers at Cleveland Guardians

CLEVELAND (Interstat) — The Cleveland Guardians will look to clinch the season series against the Texas Rangers when the teams meet for the finale of a three-game set Sunday evening at Progressive Field.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. EDT under cloudy skies with a game-time temperature near 80 degrees.

The series is tied after a 2-2 Rangers victory on Saturday and a 7-3 Texas win on Friday. The Guardians (86-74) have already secured a winning season, while the Rangers (81-79) will look to finish at .500. Cleveland holds a 3-2 edge in the season series.

Texas right-hander Jack Leiter is expected to start after a dominant outing in Friday’s win, where he struck out 10 over seven innings, allowing two runs on four hits. Leiter’s performance, backed by a three-run home run from Alejandro Osuna, set the tone for the series.

Cleveland will counter after a bullpen game on Saturday. Kyle Manzardo, who homered in Friday’s loss, will be a key bat for the Guardians’ lineup.

According to a projection by Interstat, the Guardians are favored to win with a projected final score of 7-2. The game concludes the regular season for both clubs.
