Cleveland Topples Tampa Bay, 5-0
The Cleveland Guardians picked up a win at Progressive Field, knocking off the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-0. Starting pitcher Gavin Williams played a key role in the triumph. Williams got the win, improving to 9-14. He gave up 6 hits and walked 0 over 7 innings. He allowed no runs. The 4th-place Guardians are now 57-92, the Rays 81-68.

Bo Naylor had a big 2-run home run for the Guardians in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Cleveland leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he got a sinker from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Zack Littell and swatted a home run to right. It was his 19th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Guardians ahead, 3-0.

"We had a good game plan," Williams said, "and we were able to execute it."
