Cleveland's rotation has been stellar of late, producing a 0.67 ERA the past five games and a 2.47 ERA this month. It's something the Guardians will hope to maintain after putting right-hander Ben Lively on the 15-day injured list due to a right flexor tendon strain on Tuesday.

Allen walked one and struck out six before Matt Festa, Hunter Gaddis and Emmanuel Clase completed the shutout. Clase got his ninth save.

Guardians eighth. Daniel Schneemann grounds out to shortstop, Joey Ortiz to Rhys Hoskins. Jose Ramirez singles to shallow infield. Kyle Manzardo triples to center field. Jose Ramirez scores. Carlos Santana strikes out swinging. Bo Naylor walks. Gabriel Arias lines out to shallow infield to Brice Turang.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Logan Allen and 3 relievers combined to shut down Milwaukee in a 2-0 Guardians win Tuesday at Progressive Field. Allen went 6 scoreless innings, allowing just 3 hits and fanning six.

But instead of middle-of-the-rotation arm, Lively has been Cleveland's best pitcher this season. His 0.8 bWAR leads the rotation and trails just players on the team overall, behind Steven Kwan (2.4), Gabriel Arias (1.1), Jose Ramirez (0.9) and Hunter Gaddis (0.9).
