That&#8217;s what happened in the second inning when veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/peralda01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">David Peralta<\/a> ripped a McKenzie pitch over the wall for a two-out, three-run homer and 4-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>McKenzie is in no danger of losing his rotation spot. His spring struggles seem to be a matter of making some delivery adjustments. At 6-foot-7 with very long arms and legs, the right-hander&#8217;s timing can be problematic at times. He didn&#8217;t show any drop in velocity though his usually big curveball once again didn&#8217;t dip as low as usual.<\/p>\n<p>Catcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/gallaca01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cam Gallagher<\/a> (.190) had a two-run single for Cleveland.

The left-hander allowed only those runs and four hits without a walk over five innings.

Lefty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=herrin000tim&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tim Herrin<\/a> (4.66) gave up the hit and a walk with one strikeout over 1 1\/3 innings.

Herrin&#8217;s sweeping slider and Curry&#8217;s sinking fastball have been intriguing enough for manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/francte01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-21_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Terry Francona<\/a> to keep running the rookies out there. Both youngsters remain in the mix for a possible bullpen job.<\/p>\n<p>Before the game, the Guardians announced that their home opener April 7 against the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/2023\/03\/19\/seattle-mariners-jarred-kelenic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seattle Mariners<\/a> has sold out.
