PITTSBURGH (AP) — Josh Naylor homered twice, including a three-run shot that keyed a five-run first inning against All-Star Mitch Keller, and drove in six runs and the Guardians rolled to a 10-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Naylor’s first homer gave the Guardians a 4-0 lead with none out in the first inning after Keller had thrown just seven pitches.
Keller was making his first appearance since pitching one inning in last week’s All-Star Game in Seattle.
In the ninth, Naylor connected again for a two-run blast, his 15th of the season, off Yohan Ramirez.
