The Guardians lineup has gone a bit cold, but reliever Erik Sabrowsi did well to hold the Rays at bay, recording four outs with only a hit allowed and two strikeouts, helping Cleveland to advance to the bottom of the seventh still trailing only 3-2. The Rays battled back in the fourth.

All-Star left fielder Steven Kwan has been scratched from the lineup for precautionary reasons due to body fatigue, according to the team. Daniel Schneemann will start in his place. The Guardians entered Friday with a magic number to clinch a playoff spot at seven and a magic number to win the division at 12.

CLEVELAND — Ben Lively looks to quarterback the Guardians to a win against the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday afternoon at Progressive Field. Lively has given the Guardians a tremendous return on investment this season, though he has skidded a bit to a 5.50 ERA since the beginning of August.
