The Guardians are on a roll!
CHICAGO — Steven Kwan homered among his three hits and Triston McKenzie struck out 13 in eight strong innings as the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 8-2 Wednesday night to move closer to their first American League Central title since 2018.
“I thought it was special,” said Cleveland manager Terry Francona, who marveled that McKenzie had no walks during his 100-pitch performance. “He was spinning it. They had to respect his fastball because it had life through the one.”Kwan started the game with a single and scored on a fielder's choice. He singled off Lynn in the second before pulling his homer down the right field line. Kwan leads all major league rookies with 40 multi-hit games, including 14 three-hit games.
Naylor led off the fourth with a fly to shallow left. Moncada tracked the ball before peeling away, and the ball hit the heel of Andrew Vaughn's glove and bounced away for an error. The Guardians followed with three consecutive hits that helped them extend their lead to 5-0. Lynn was charged with three earned runs after allowing two runs or fewer in each of his previous seven starts.
