The Guardians played their third doubleheader in seven days and their seventh this season.A 26th-round draft choice by the Tigers in 2018, Hill (1-0) allowed just two hits, including a home run by Josh Naylor. He struck out three and walked one. Hill drew attention last year after pitching in the Arizona League Fall Stars Game. The 26-year-old right-hander was a combined 4-2 with a 3.23 ERA in a combined 15 starts at Triple-A and Double-A this season.

Red Sox: Trevor Story hit a solo HR, Kutter Crawford pitched 5 innings of two-hit relief and the Red Sox won their eighth straight Fourth of July game, beating the visiting Rays 4-0. The Red Sox matched their franchise record for consecutive July 4 wins, accomplished from 190104 and 1936-39, when teams played doubleheaders.
