The Cleveland Guardians fell at the hands of the New York Yankees on Wednesday night as they now dropped their fifth straight series.

Cleveland took an early lead but wasn't able to add on after when given the chance. Shane Bieber largely pitched a solid game going eight innings and giving up two runs, but he wasn't able to get any help from the offense.

This is what manager Terry Francona had to say after the game:

The biggest elephant in the room is the offense which has scored five runs over the last two games. When asked about where the offense stands, Tito said,

 "It's not been easy right now. It's nice to score early and score first. But we couldn't add on. We had a chance to add on and we didn't. That's where you like to add on and a mistake or two doesn't beat you."

The bats need to get going fast. The Guardians welcome the American League Central leader Minnesota Twins to Cleveland this weekend which could wind up being one of the biggest series of the season.
