eighth on an infield single by newcomer Andrew Benintendi and a

hit a two-run home run to lead Cleveland to a victory against
Tampa Bay at St. Petersburg, Fla.

All-Star break, had an infield single in the first inning. But
it was Kwan's second and third singles, which came in the fifth
and seventh innings, that were more consequential.
Kwan stole second and then scored when Ramirez hit his 21st home
run of the season to give the Guardians a 3-1 lead in the fifth.

scored when Ramirez singled. Ramirez now has 83 RBI on the year.

consecutive games to Houston since the All-Star break. The
right-hander tossed 7 2/3 innings, allowing one run on five hits
and one walk with five strikeouts.

94 pitches, a stark contrast to Mariners starter Robbie Ray
(8-8), who threw 84 pitches while recording only eight outs.

also went deep to back six strong innings from James Kaprielian

second baseman Luis Rengifo that led to four of the runs being
unearned.
Cubs 4, Giants 2
Patrick Wisdom hit a home run, Marcus Stroman scattered eight
hits in six shutout innings and Chicago outlasted host San
Francisco.
Five of the game's six runs were scored in the ninth.
The Cubs managed just six hits, but thanks in large part to
Wisdom's solo shot in the fifth, it was enough to produce a
seventh win in the past eight games.

went just 3-for-11 with runners in scoring position, with two of
those three hits failing to produce a run.
