Guardians' bats go cold in Game 1 after weeklong layoff
Original: After weeklong wait, Guardians' bats come out cold in Game 1
Cleveland Guardians fell flat at the plate in Game 1 after waiting a full week between games, with the layoff widely blamed for the rust in their lineup. The club had been idle since closing out its previous series, and the long break showed as Cleveland's hitters managed little production against opposing pitching. Fans and analysts are now asking whether the Guardians can shake off the downtime quickly enough to even the series before falling into a deeper hole.
Why now: The Guardians' long layoff between rounds and their quiet offensive showing in Game 1 are fueling debate about whether the rest helped or hurt them.
