Daniel Espino Pitches Two Scoreless Innings as Opener for Guardians

Daniel Espino served as the opener for the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday against the Minnesota Twins, delivering two effective scoreless innings. However, the Guardians' bullpen strategy wavered after his departure when they opted for relief pitcher Elian Aleman instead of scheduled bulk pitcher Joey Cantillo, contributing to an early breakdown in what ultimately became a 4-3 loss for Cleveland.
