CLEVELAND (AP) — Joey Cantillo pitched six scoreless innings, rookie Travis Bazzana capped a five-run third inning with a two-run double and the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 on Monday night.
Cantillo (3-1) allowed five hits, walked one and struck out four.
Brayan Rocchio put the Guardians ahead 2-0 when he greeted reliever Jose Fermin with a single in the second inning after opener Brent Suter was lifted.
The Guardians had a five-run outburst in the third inning, taking advantage of four walks, to extend their lead to 7-0. David Fry drew a bases-loaded walk and Daniel Schneemann hit a two-run single before Bazzana capped the rally by lining his two-run double to center field. Bazzana was the first pick in the 2026 amateur draft.
The AL Central-leading Guardians improved to 28-4 against the Angels in Cleveland since the start of the 2014 season. The Angels also lost for the 16th time in their last 21 games.
Kyle Manzardo and Fry each had two hits for the Guardians, who drew a season-high 10 walks, including three by Rhys Hoskins. The Angels got a pair of hits from Nolan Schanuel and Jo Adell, who also drove in a run with an eighth-inning single.
