The Guardians’ once-promising playoff aspirations took a significant hit this weekend, as the Atlanta Braves delivered a three-game sweep at Progressive Field that left players, coaches, and fans facing a harsh reality check about this team’s postseason chances.
The Guardians have been one of MLB’s hottest teams over the last few weeks, primarily because of the offense. Cleveland had a team slash line of 251/.326/.421 from the All-Star Break heading into their series against the Braves. However, Atlanta found a way to shut the Guardians’ bats down.
Profar’s two-run homer off Nic Enright in the sixth inning was enough for the Atlanta Braves to beat the Guardians, 5-4, and complete a three-game sweep of the home team. The Guardians, who were one of baseball’s hottest teams a minute ago, have lost five of their last seven games.
