Guardians' Petey Halpin: Scores go-ahead run
Rotowire
Halpin went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Kansas City.
Halpin moved up from first base when the runner ahead of him, Austin Hedges, stole third base. That put Halpin in position to score the go-ahead run on a two-run single by Chase DeLauter. The stolen base was his first since being called up last Friday and 10th overall in 2026, when including the nine he swiped for Triple-A Columbus.
