How to Watch Athletics at Guardians (July 18): Stream MLB Live, TV Channel

The Cleveland Guardians will try to pick up where they left off before the MLB All-Star break on Friday night, when they host the Athletics at Progressive Field.

Prior to the MLB All-Star Break, the Cleveland Guardians (46-49) seemed to find some rhythm after struggling for much of June and early July. The team closed the first half with a seven-game road trip and won six of those seven games, with their lone loss coming in extra innings. They’ll hope the time off didn’t halt their momentum as they return to action, now beginning a seven-game homestand. First on the schedule is the Athletics (41-57), who are in town on Friday night for the first game of a three-game set.
