CLEVELAND (AP) — Brandon Drury’s sacrifice fly capped a two-run rally in the ninth inning by Los Angeles off Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase as the Angels beat the Guardians 5-4 to snap a 10-game losing streak at Progressive Field.
Drury’s shot to center off the hard-throwing Clase enabled the Angels to get their first win at Cleveland since Aug. 3, 2018.
They had been 1-21 on the road against the Guardians since 2015.
The Guardians loaded the bases in the ninth off Carlos Estévez, who struck out Will Brennan for his ninth save.
Josh Naylor’s 442-foot homer in the eighth had given the Guardians a 4-3 lead.
