In the bottom of the eighth, Jose Ramirez
opened with a double off Chicago's Julian Merryweather (1-1),
went to third on Will Brennan's pinch-hit single and scored when
Naylor bounced the ball over drawn-in third baseman Isaac
Paredes to put the Guardians back ahead.
Naylor also had a two-out RBI single earlier in the game for
Cleveland's first run.
Noel clubbed a three-run homer off Cubs All-Star Shota Imanaga
during a four-run fourth and Steven Kwan delivered a two-run
shot to highlight a three-run fifth for Cleveland, which has won
three straight after losing seven in a row.
Emmanuel Clase recorded his 36th save, his third in three days,
to help halt the Cubs' four-game winning streak.
Ian Happ hit a two-run homer in the third off Cleveland starter
Ben Lively, who lasted just 3 2/3 innings, and Pete
Crow-Armstrong went deep against him in the fourth. However,
Imanaga allowed seven runs -- three earned -- and seven hits
over five innings as Chicago lost for just the third time in 11
games.
Imanaga struck out three and walked one. Lively yielded three
runs on five hits and four walks with one strikeout.
Chicago trailed by five after six innings, then plated four runs
against Cleveland relievers Tim Herrin and Scott Barlow in the
seventh. The big blow was a three-run double to left field from
Dansby Swanson that extended his hitting streak to seven games
and made it an 8-7 contest.
In the top of the eighth, Happ drew a one-out walk from Peter
Strzelecki, went to third on Patrick Wisdom's double into the
left field corner off Nick Sandlin (7-0) and scored on Seiya
Suzuki's sacrifice fly to center.
Noel, a rookie, raised his homer total to eight through 31
games. It was his first career multi-homer game.
