CLEVELAND — Lane Thomas and José Ramírez hit back-to-back eighth-inning homers and Joey Cantillo pitched five scoreless innings as the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-1. Josh Naylor's two-run single through a drawn-in infield ignited a three-run sixth that extended Cleveland's lead to 4-0. David Fry added a sacrifice fly in the inning. Junior Caminero had a career-high three doubles for Tampa Bay, driving in the team's only run in the eighth. Cantillo (2-3) gave up three hits, walked one and struck out six. Tyler Alexander (6-5) went five innings for the loss.
