George Valera Hits RBI Double During Guardians' Late-Inning Rally

George Valera contributed to a late-inning surge for the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday, hitting an RBI double in the top of the 8th inning. His hit helped trim the deficit to 3-2 before teammate Angel Martinez drove in two more runs to give Cleveland a 5-2 lead. While the Guardians eventually surrendered the lead in a frustrating loss to the rebuilding Cardinals, Valera's clutch hitting provided a key spark during the team's brief offensive explosion in the late stages of the contest.
