Travis Bazzana made his debut for the Captains on July 26 at Great Lakes, where he won 1-0.

Bazzana started, played second base and went 0-for-3 with an RBI, which proved decisive. He was replaced by a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning.

The Guardians’ No. 1 overall draft pick in the Major League Baseball draft out of Oregon State struck out in his first at-bat. He reached on a fielder’s choice in the third, on which Jorge Burgos scored what would prove to be the game’s lone run. He struck out on his third trip to the plate in the sixth.
