PITTSBURGH (AP) — Josh Naylor had three RBIs with a home run and a double, helping the Guardians rout the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-0 to end a four-game losing streak.
Naylor’s sixth-inning RBI double extended his hitting streak to eight games and gave Cleveland a 5-0 lead.
He drove a Yohan Ramirez sinker over the left-field wall in the seventh for a nine-run lead, the last of the Guardians’ trio of two-run homers.
Steven Kwan added an RBI single in the eighth and Myles Straw had a run-scoring infield single in the ninth.
Cleveland had totaled 10 runs during its four losses.
