Guardians Thrill Fans with 9-8 Win
In a tight contest at Jacobs Field, the Cleveland Guardians edged the Los Angeles Angels by the score of 9-8. Cleveland designated hitter Stephen Smitherman, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. With their winning streak at 4, the Guardians have raced to a strong start this season.

Jose Alfaro was the walk-off hero for Cleveland. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Guardians third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It never gets old," said Smitherman. "Winning, that is."
