To say that the first half of the MLB season was a disappointment for Cleveland Guardians fans would be a huge understatement. Nevertheless, as tough as things have been, there’s still a glimmer of hope for this team.

Carlos Santana hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the sixth inning, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 4-2 in the opener of a split doubleheader.
