Despite these claims, Ober went 0-5 in five June starts, posting a 9.00 ERA (30 earned runs on 38 hits across 30 innings) and gave up 14 homers, which was double the long balls he’d coughed up in March, April, and May combined.

Guardians update (54-54): They’ve won 14 of their last 20 games. Carlos Santana .400 (6 for 15) with two homers and two RBI and Jose Ramirez .320 (8 for 25) have hit the Twins well this year. Williams, who opens the series against the Twins, is 1-1 against them this year.
