Guardians swept by the Mets
The excitement after trade deadline acquisitions was warranted, but the results haven't followed yet, as the Guardians were swept by the Mets with a 13-6 loss Thursday.
Austin Hedges records four outs vs Mets
Austin Hedges has recorded four outs on seven pitches, and that's just about the only thing that's gone right for the Guardians today, at least on the mound.
Austin Hedges strikes out Luis Robert Jr.
Amazingly, after the Guardians bullpen imploded, Austin Hedges struck out Luis Robert Jr. on three pitches to end the inning to a loud ovation.

Catcher Austin Hedges pitching as Mets crush Guardians bullpen
It has been a really rough day for the Guardians bullpen, and catcher Austin Hedges is now taking the mound. That's how bad it's gotten at Progressive Field.
Against Slade Cecconi, who was recently moved to the bullpen, Francisco Alvarez doubled in a run to make it 10-5. Cecconi then walked back-to-back runners, the first scoring a run to extended New York's lead to 11-5. Tim Herrin entered the game and walked the first batter on four pitches to score yet another run.
After Bo Bichette's infield single made it 13-5, Vogt turned to Hedges with two outs in the eighth inning. The bases are loaded, and this has already gotten ugly.

Nathaniel Lowe hits first home run with Guardians
Nathaniel Lowe has his first home run as a member of the Guardians, a three-run shot to right field that made it 6-5.
The Mets had opened up a 6-2 lead against Guardians reliever Matt Festa via Jared Young's RBI single in the top of the fifth, until Lowe launched the three-run home run to close the gap and make it a one-run game.

"Hosey knows himself, and the last thing we want is Hosey going out and playing when he's not comfortable or anything like that. He wants to be out there. I think we all know that. He would play through anything [he] can. We're just trying to be as smart as we can and understanding that it's going to take some time for him. He's going to have moments like this coming off of a surgery."
