Lane Thomas went 1-for-2 and drew a walk as the Guardians were shut out by the Mariners on Sunday afternoon.

As a team, the Guardians were only able to muster four hits (all singles) and one walk against Emerson Hancock and company. Thomas was the only member of the Guardians to reach base twice — with a two-out single off of Hancock in the second and a one-out walk off of the right-hander in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old outfielder has been swinging a hot bat since returning from the injured list and makes for an intriguing addition in deeper mixed leagues where he may still be available.

Luis Ortiz was knocked around in Sunday’s loss to the Mariners, giving up six runs on five hits over his six innings of work.

Ortiz struggled with his command in this one, issuing five free passes while striking out five batters on the afternoon. Most of the damage came during a five-run uprising in the second inning that was capped off by a grand slam off the bat of J.P. Crawford. The M’s added another run in the fifth in an RBI knock by Mitch Garver. Ortiz got 12 swings and misses on 104 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 31 percent. He’ll try to put this one behind him and get back on track as he carries a 4.64 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and an 81/39 K/BB ratio (75 2/3 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Athletics in West Sacramento.

Tanner Bibee pitched five innings of two-run ball Saturday against the Mariners.

Bibee allowed just two hard-hit balls tonight, but the Mariners managed to scrape together two runs in the first and that was enough to leave Bibee with a no-decision. He’ll bring a 3.79 ERA into his next start against the A’s.

Marcus Semien went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI on Sunday afternoon as the Rangers eked out a one-run victory over the visiting White Sox.

Semien drove in a run with a sacrifice fly off of Aaron Civale in the fifth inning that would prove to be the difference in the ballgame. He also doubled with two outs in the seventh inning but was left stranded there. He has picked up the pace offensively in recent weeks, but is still slashing a miserable .224/.305/.336 overall on the season with seven homers, 30 RBI and six stolen bases.

Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and a two-run home run against the Angels on Sunday.

Gleyber Torres went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, a double and an RBI against the Reds on Sunday.

Torres went hitless on Saturday, but sandwiched that game with two excellent offensive performances against the Reds. The 28-year-old second baseman hit two home runs on Friday and had a three-hit game on Sunday. Torres has been quite an addition to the Tigers lineup this year. He’s hitting .276 with a .796 OPS and 34 RBI on the year.
