Alexander was strong in his first two innings of relief of Drew Rasmussen -- who fired two scoreless as the opener -- but then gave up an RBI double to Brayan Rocchio in the fifth and three more runs in the sixth. Alexander walked two in the contest with just one strikeout. He will remain off the fantasy radar even with a chance to get a win next time out; likely against the Blue Jays over the weekend.
Rocchio only had one official at-bat, but that one at-bat saw him hit a two-run homer that extended Cleveland's lead to 4-1. Earlier in the game he drove in a run with a sac fly, and another RBi came on a bases-loaded walk. Rocchio has seven homers on the year, 31 RBI and a .211/.298/.319 slash.
That's his third straight start at his third different position, playing the last two games at third base and center field. Schneeman has gone 3-for-7 in those two games, so the Guardians will go back to him as they try to jump-start their offense. Brayan Rocchio will head to the bench for the day.
