Josh Naylor crushed a three-run tiebreaking homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to lead the Cleveland Guardians to a 4-3 victory and series win against the Los Angeles Angels.
Naylor's blast, a 360-foot shot into an 18-mph wind, came off the third pitch from Angels closer Carlos Estevez, who appeared distracted by a pitch timer violation on his first pitch. It gave Cleveland a 4-1 lead.
The Angels rallied for two runs in the ninth against MLB saves leader Emmanuel Clase. Zach Neto doubled and Mickey Moniak singled before Shohei Ohtani drove in Neto with a single. For seven innings, the game was a pitchers' duel between 24-year-old Cleveland rookie Tanner Bibee and the Angels' Patrick Sandoval, two years' older than Bibee. The two were teammates in 2015 on the Mission Viejo High baseball team.
Bibee faced the minimum through seven innings, the longest of his four major league starts. But he exited after the Angels tied the game in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Gio Urshela.
