The Cleveland Guardians jump to an early 10-run lead to avoid a series sweep with 12-3 victory over the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix.
David Brandt Associated Press PHOENIX — Josh Naylor had four hits and three RBIs, and the Cleveland Guardians avoided a three-game sweep by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-3 on Sunday.
Cleveland scored two in the first after leadoff batter Steven Kwan reached on an error by shortstop Nick Ahmed. José Ramírez drove Kwan home with a triple, and Josh Naylor's double scored Ramírez. Arizona's Christian Walker hit a solo homer — his second long ball in two days — to cut the margin to 5-1. But the Guardians responded with six more runs in the fourth, punctuated by a two-run triple from Andrés Giménez.
The game was played in the afternoon, but temperatures in the 100s in central Arizona meant the 25-year-old stadium’s retractable roof was closed.
