Arizona Diamondbacks vs Cleveland Guardians: Game time, pitching matchups, more

Diamondbacks vs. Guardians, Aug. 18, 6:40 p.m., Cox, Ch. 34 Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (9-12, 5.31) vs. Guardians RHP Gavin Williams (7-4, 3.38) At Chase Field: Gallen is 2-0 with a no-decision in August and is pitching better of late. His ERA is the highest it's ever been in his career, but Gallen is five innings away from eclipsing last season's total of 148. He is 2-0 in three career starts against the Guardians. "He's putting balls on the plate, not trying to be too fine," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "He just grew tired of pitching the way he was." Williams has had some outstanding starts of late, including 8 ⅔ innings of one-hit ball on Aug. 6 in New York against the Mets. But he got through only three innings in his most recent start on Aug. 13 against Miami. Williams will be facing the Diamondbacks for the first time in his career. Coming up Tuesday, Aug. 19: At Chase Field, 6:40 p.m., Diamondbacks LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (5-7, 5.40) vs. Guardians RHP Tanner Bibee (9-9, 4.54). Wednesday, Aug. 20: At Chase Field, 12:40 p.m., Diamondbacks RHP Brandon Pfaadt (12-8, 5.08) vs. Guardians LHP Joey Cantillo (3-3, 3.93). Thursday, Aug. 21: Off day Friday, Aug. 22: At Chase Field, 6:40 p.m., Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (6-3, 3.58) vs. Reds TBA. What to know about the Guardians Cleveland is far back of the first-place Detroit Tigers in the American League Central, but the Guardians are just 3 ½ games out of the last wild-card spot in the AL. So much is at stake this week and going forward for them. Seven-time All-Star José Ramirez spearheads the Cleveland offense, with two-time All-Star Steven Kwan also a big part of the attack. DH Kyle Manzardo's 21 home runs are second to the 25 for Ramirez. Former Diamondbacks player Stephen Vogt is the Guardians manager.

MLB fan gets banned for the rest of the season after interfering in games four years in a row

An Arizona Diamondbacks fan has been banned for the rest of the season after being found to have interfered with play four years in a row. The decision to ban the season ticket holder came after he swiped a potential home run away from the grasps of an outfielder during their match against the San Francisco Giants. Footage from Monday's game showed Dave McCaskill leaning over the railings and catching the ball, after a potential home run shot by the Giants' Christian Koss. It was later ruled as just a double and McCaskill was swiftly ejected from Chase Field however users on social media were quick to point out that McCaskill had been involved in an umpire review on five separate occasions, four years in a row. It was then confirmed that McCaskill had been banned from attending games for the remainder of the 2025 season after the release of a team statement. It read: 'This particular fan has been involved in multiple offenses at Chase Field. This fan will have the opportunity to return to Chase Field in 2026 so long as he meets certain terms and abides by our Fan Code of Conduct.' Should this have been ruled a home run for Christian Koss? 🤔 — SF Giants on NBCS (@NBCSGiants) July 1, 2025 Meanwhile, in an interview with Fox, McCaskill explained: 'I'm a Dbacks fan. I would never want to do anything to hurt the D-backs or have them lose the game. I've only been ejected twice. 'I caught the ball, it came right down... You see my glove hit the the top, so I think the ball would have bounced on top and gone over'. However, he also admitted to being ejected on a third occasion but claimed that it didn't count as he was simply moved to another section of the stadium. He added: 'The ball was hit. I looked to my left. I feel like I'm a little bit athletic. I played a little ball in college. I thought there was a shot right down the line. 'I thought it was safe, just reading the ball like an outfielder would… My glove was above the line. I didn't go out.' Had Koss' shot left the park, it would have tied up the game in the eighth inning of play.
