CLEVELAND (AP) --- Joey Cantillo pitched six scoreless innings, rookie Travis
Bazzana capped a five-run third inning with a two-run double and the Cleveland
Guardians defeated the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 on Monday night.
Cantillo (3-1) allowed five hits, walked one and struck out four.
Brayan Rocchio put the Guardians ahead 2-0 when he greeted reliever Jose Fermin
with a single in the second inning after opener Brent Suter was lifted.
The Guardians had a five-run outburst in the third inning, taking advantage of
four walks, to extend their lead to 7-0. David Fry drew a bases-loaded walk and
Daniel Schneemann hit a two-run single before Bazzana capped the rally by
lining his two-run double to center field. Bazzana was the first pick in the
2024 amateur draft.
The AL Central-leading Guardians improved to 28-4 against the Angels in
Cleveland since the start of the 2014 season. The Angels also lost for the 16th
time in their last 21 games.
Kyle Manzardo and Fry each had two hits for the Guardians, who drew a
season-high 10 walks, including three by Rhys Hoskins. The Angels got a pair of
hits from Nolan Schanuel and Jo Adell, who also drove in a run with an
eighth-inning single.
Suter (1-2) was charged with two runs in 1 2/3 innings. Alek Manoah finished
with five scoreless innings despite walking five batters.
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt missed his second straight game because of a
viral infection but is expected to be back in the dugout Tuesday night. Bench
coach Tony Arnerich again served as acting manager.
Up next
Angels rookie RHP Walbert Urena (1-3, 3.22 ERA) faces RHP Slade Cecconi (2-4,
6.15) on Tuesday in the second of the three-game series.
