Guyer leaves a mark
OF Brandon Guyer will continue to lead the American League in hit by pitches since the 23 he accrued with the Rays carries over to the Indians. His 24 HBP last season led the AL and set a team record. He was on his way to resetting the team record this season before Monday's trade. So what's the Indians' record for HBP in a single season? That would be 17 set by Minnie Minoso in 1959.
