Guardians - Red Sox: Lineups and starting pitchers for today’s MLB game April 15
The clash between the Cleveland Guardians and the Boston Red Sox is more than just a game; it’s a storied rivalry that spans decades.
The Cleveland Guardians and the Boston Red Sox are set to clash in an early morning matchup as part of Boston’s traditional Patriots’ Day celebration. This game holds special significance as it also marks Jackie Robinson Day across Major League Baseball.
Their rivalry reached its zenith during the 1940s and ‘50s. The Red Sox had already won multiple World Series titles, but their infamous “Curse of the Bambino” haunted them. In 1919, they traded a young pitcher named Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, and the baseball gods seemed to frown upon them ever since. The Guardians capitalized on this, clinching their own championships.
Who will be the starting pitchers for the coming Guardians - Red Sox game?
Cleveland Guardians:
Xzavion Curry (RHP) will take the mound for his first start in the big leagues. Keep an eye on this promising young pitcher as he faces the potent Red Sox lineup.
Boston Red Sox:
Kutter Crawford (RHP) gets the nod for the Red Sox. With an impressive 0.57 ERA, Crawford aims to stifle the Guardians’ offense.
