News about Mike Zunino

There's bad fortune, and then there's Akil Baddoo's game against the Guardians on Monday night. Baddoo attempted to rob a base for his team when Cleveland catcher Mike Zunino took the field at Miguel Cabrera and shot the ball into second in the second inning. Baddoo was trying to arrive in time and made a desperate run to the base before the ball but the ball struck him right where it hurts.

The Cleveland Guardians said not so fast, with the Yankees expected to win in 1 hour and 45 minutes. Josh Naylor scored a two-run single off Clay Holmes and Mike Zunino during a three-run, bases-loaded walk from Wandy Perez on Monday night, the Guardians over reeling New York 3-2. 'It felt like the only thing that made the game not an hour was commercials,' Cleveland pitcher Cal Quantrill said.

Shane Bieber shook off a rocky first inning to pitch seven, Josh Naylor gave Cleveland the lead with a tiebreaking sacrifice fly, and Karinchak pulled out of a harrowing jam as the Guardians defeated the Clevelanders 3-2 on Monday night in a rematch of last year's AL Division Series. James Karinchak yelled on his chest, danced off the mound, and nearly collapsed over catcher Mike Zunino. Also in April, beating the Yankees gives cause for a big celebration.
