Canadian Premier Takes on the Guardians on Day 2 of Arizona Pro Tour

Canadian Premier ran into a difficult matchup on Wednesday, dropping a 12–0 decision to the Cleveland Guardians after the home side built an early lead and never looked back.

The Guardians struck first in the second inning, using a combination of power and timely hitting to push across multiple runs and establish control. They extended the advantage in the third, capitalizing on additional scoring opportunities to create early separation.

Logan Forgie made the start for Canadian Premier, working two innings while allowing three runs on three hits. He struck out one and walked two, featuring a fastball up to 89 mph, complemented by a slider and changeup. Korbin Greaves followed in relief, matching similar velocity while mixing his secondary offerings effectively.

Jack Perry handled the middle innings, turning in a solid outing across the fifth and sixth. He showcased a fastball up to 91 mph, along with a sharp curveball that generated significant spin, and an effective changeup. 

Noah Powell provided a bright spot late, closing out the final two innings without allowing a hit while displaying a fastball that reached 94 mph and a firm slider.

Offensively, Canadian Premier found limited opportunities but saw a standout performance from Ashton Gaulton, who led the club with three hits in three at-bats from the bottom of the lineup.

The Guardians generated consistent offense throughout, combining extra-base power with disciplined at-bats to build their advantage. Their lineup showed patience at the plate, drawing multiple walks and capitalizing on scoring chances to maintain pressure across all nine innings.

Canadian Premier will look to regroup quickly as they continue their road trip with a matchup against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.
