Steven Kwan hit a tying double in the ninth inning, Travis Bazzana followed with a sacrifice fly and the Cleveland Guardians rallied past the Angels 4-3 on Wednesday<\/a> for their seventh straight victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hunter Gaddis (2-3) retired the final two batters in the eighth to earn the win. Erik Sabrowski worked a scoreless ninth for his second major league save and first since 2024.<\/p>\n

With a runner on second, Sabrowski struck out pinch-hitter Travis d\u2019Arnaud and got pinch-hitter Oswald Peraza to pop up to second as Cleveland completed a three-game sweep.<\/p>\n

Chase DeLauter, slowed this week by left hamstring tightness, sparked the winning rally with a one-out single off reliever Ryan Watson (1-1) in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Petey Halpin ran for DeLauter and went to second on Brayan Rocchio\u2019s single. Kwan roped a ground-rule double to right field for a 3-all tie, and Bazzana\u2019s sacrifice fly sent the Angels to their 10th loss this season when leading after eight innings.<\/p>\n

Angels<\/a> starter Grayson Rodriguez gave up one run and seven hits in 5 2\/3 innings, striking out four and walking one. Guardians starter Joey Cantillo gave up two hits in six innings but issued a career-high seven walks and committed a first-inning error that led to a run.<\/p>\n

Zach Neto led off the bottom of the first with a single and scored when Cantillo fielded Vaughn Grissom\u2019s one-out dribbler and threw the ball into right field.<\/p>\n

The Angels extended the lead to 3-0 in the second when Cantillo walked the bases loaded with one out, hit Neto with a pitch to force in a run, and Mike Trout added a sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n

Cleveland cut it to 3-1 in the fifth when Rocchio doubled, went to third on Kwan\u2019s groundout and scored on Bazzana\u2019s sacrifice fly. The Guardians pulled to 3-2 in the eighth when Bazzana bunted for a single, Jo Adell walked and Nathaniel Lowe flared an RBI single to left-center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steven Kwan hit a tying double in the ninth inning, Travis Bazzana followed with a sacrifice fly and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":789486,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2390],"tags":[291,5,10987,22912,51,571,3930,3654,1165,446,3223,774,56,3224,3222,4,1086,93863,1757,3215,4508,2081,12569,2052],"class_list":["post-789485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-angels","tag-angels","tag-baseball","tag-cantillo","tag-chase-delauter","tag-cleveland-guardians","tag-erik-sabrowski","tag-hit","tag-innings","tag-la","tag-la-angels","tag-laangels","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-angels","tag-losangeles","tag-losangelesangels","tag-mlb","tag-ninth-inning","tag-one-out","tag-right-field","tag-run","tag-sacrifice-fly","tag-steven-kwan","tag-travis-bazzana","tag-zach-neto"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117165773557473621","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=789485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/789486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=789485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=789485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=789485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
