CLEVELAND (AP) --- Angel Martnez had an RBI single during Cleveland's four-run
first and made a key defensive play in the second inning as the Guardians held
on for a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.
Cleveland's Chase DeLauter and Kyle Manzardo broke out of slumps with two hits
apiece.
Caleb Durbin had an RBI double in the fifth inning for the Red Sox. They have
dropped six of seven.
Colin Holderman (3-0), the second of six Guardians' pitchers, got the win with
1 1/3 innings of hitless ball. Starter Slade Cecconi allowed three runs in 4
1/3 innings. Cade Smith picked up his MLB-leading 20th save.
Boston's Brayan Bello, who came in after opener Tyler Samaniego (0-3) allowed
four runs in the first, threw seven scoreless innings and allowed four hits
with five strikeouts.
Samaniego allowed six straight singles with one out, including RBI base hits by
Rhys Hoskins and Angel Martnez. Hoskins scored after Boston center fielder
Ceddanne Rafaela bobbled Martinez's line drive while getting it out of his
glove for an error. Patrick Bailey extended Cleveland's lead to 4-0 with a
sacrifice fly to bring in Manzardo.
In the second inning, Boston's Mickey Gasper tried to score from second after
Cleveland shortstop Brayan Rocchio was unable to field Isiah Kiner-Falefa's
grounder, but Martnez easily threw out Gasper.
Boston got all of its runs in the fifth. It opened the inning with four
straight hits including Marcelo Mayer's RBI base hit and a double by Durbin
down the right-field line to bring home Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Jarren Duran also
had a sacrifice fly.
