Pittsburgh Pirates vs Cleveland Guardians Live Stream: How to Watch MLB

After a doubleheader to open this series, Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates will take on the Cleveland Guardians in the season-series finale on Sunday.

The Cleveland Guardians host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series finale in what has turned into a rubber match on Sunday afternoon. If this were any other sports league, these two would probably be division rivals. But this is the only series of the season between these interleague foes that aren’t that far from one another. This series got off to a false start with the opener being postponed on Friday due to air-quality concerns from smoke from the Canadian wildfires. That moved the game to Saturday, where the Pirates and Guardians played a doubleheader. Pittsburgh won the first game comfortably, 7-1, but the Guardians bounced back in Game 2 on Saturday night, 5-3. Both teams have been playing well lately, winning four of their last five games, though Pittsburgh’s loss in Game 2 snapped a four-game winning streak. These two have very similar records. The Guardians are 52-47 with a 25-23 home record and share a lead of the AL Central with the Chicago White Sox. The Pirates are just one game back of the Guardians with a 51-48 record and a 24-24 away mark. Unfortunately for the Pirates, they are in fourth place in the NL Central. Cleveland won’t be the favorite in the finale on Sunday, though, with the Pirates holding the -127 line.

Jared Jones had a strong start in the opener for the Pirates, only giving up one run in five innings off three hits while impressively striking out nine. His only blemish was an RBI triple from Travis Bazzana in the bottom of the third that got the Guardians within one after Jacob Gonzalez hit a two-run homer in the top of the second. Esmerlyn Valdez and Nick Gonzalez both hit homers in the sixth inning to put the game away for Pittsburgh. The Cleveland fanbase was rewarded, though, in the nightcap, with rookie All-Star Bazzana staying hot on the day by hitting a two-run homer to center in the ninth for his first career walk-off hit. Cleveland didn’t score until the eighth inning in Game 2, scoring three runs to tie the game.

The Pirates will try to bounce back by starting their ace on Sunday in Paul Skenes. The righty All-Star is 8-8 this season with a 3.57 ERA in 108.1 innings. The Guardians will counter with Tanner Bibee, who likely deserves a better record than he has. The righty is 3-9 with a 3.90 ERA in 113 innings.
