The Guardians had their winning streak snapped, and the Orioles avoided the sweep in a 4-3 Cleveland loss July 24 at Progressive Field.

BOTTOM LINE: The Cleveland Guardians, on a four-game home winning streak, host the Baltimore Orioles. Cleveland is 25-24 at home and 51-50 overall. The Guardians have the eighth-ranked team ERA in the AL at 3.92.

Kyle Manzardo gave Cleveland the lead with a two-run single in the fourth, but Jackson Holliday tied the score with a solo home run in the sixth.

The Guardians could sell as the trade deadline nears but MLB Network's Chris Young cautions the team against moving its veteran All-Star.

The story of the Guardians’ first 100 games this season has been one of ups and downs -- with some steeper than others -- and a journey that has them sitting with a .500 record.

The Guardians have responded to their 10-game losing streak with a 10-2 stretch that has them, again, in the middle of the playoff race.

Friday: The Guardians open a three-game series against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. It will be RHP Gavin Williams (6-4, 3.54) vs. RHP Michael Wacha (4-9. 3.62) at 8:10 p.m. Apple TV+, WTAM 1100, WMMS 100.7 FM and the Guardians radio network will carry the game.

Cannon (3-7, 4.50 ERA) ended a six-start winless streak in his most recent outing last Saturday, holding the Colorado Rockies to two runs and eight hits over 5 1/3 innings in a 10-3 win.
