Jhonkensy Noel homered twice for the Guardians against the Cubs on Monday.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — When Cleveland and the Cubs get together at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario, the games tend to become back-and-forth affairs.
Josh Naylor’s RBI single off Jorge Lopez in the eighth broke an 8-8 tie after Chicago rallied from a five-run deficit in the seventh to tie the score. Emmanuel Clase, finished off the ninth inning for his 36th save, and the Guardians stretched their modest winning streak to three games on the heels of a seven game skid.
Scott Barlow allowed a pair of hits, including a three-run double to Dansby Swanson, and Nick Sandlin allowed an RBI sacrifice fly to Seiya Suzuki that tied the score. But Sandlin retired the final two batters of the eighth and moved to 7-0 as Naylor delivered the go-ahead run in the bottom of the inning.
Noel’s diving grab of a flare to right robbed Suzuki of extra bases and two RBI with Chicago threatening to add to its 3-0 lead in the fourth. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound rookie, affectionately known as Big Christmas by his teammates, sprinted toward the right field line and laid out to grab the ball as it was tailing away from his glove.
