CLEVELAND (AP) \u2014 David Fry and Austin Hedges hit home runs, and the Cleveland Guardians defeated Texas 9-4 on Wednesday to snap the Rangers’ six-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
Rookie Chase DeLauter added three hits for the Guardians, who host the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox in a pivotal four-game series starting on Thursday.<\/p>\n
It was the sixth time this season Cleveland has scored at least nine runs in a game, a rare offensive outburst for a team that scored the second-fewest runs in June (87).<\/p>\n
Elias D\u00edaz homered for the Rangers, who were on their longest road winning streak since 2017. Ezequiel Duran added three hits.<\/p>\n
Fry’s three-run shot came during a five-run second inning. Hedges also drove in three runs, including his two-run shot in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
Bryan Rocchio scored on Hedges\u2019 squeeze bunt and Gabriel Arias came home on a wild pitch by Rangers starter MacKenzie Gore (5-7) before Fry connected on a fastball on a 2-2 count and drove it just over the wall in right-center to make it 5-0.<\/p>\n
DeLauter is 8 for 18 with four RBIs in four games since returning from the injured list. He extended Cleveland’s lead to 6-3 in the seventh with a base hit to right to score Steven Kwan, who led off the inning with a triple.<\/p>\n
Joey Cantillo (7-3) won for the third time in his last four outings. The left-hander allowed two runs on three hits in five innings.<\/p>\n
Gore also went five innings and gave up five runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts.
\nUp next<\/p>\n
Rangers: RHP Nathan Eovaldi (8-7, 3.95 ERA) will make his sixth home start this season on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers.<\/p>\n
Guardians: RHP Slade Cecconi (4-6, 4.18 ERA) takes the mound on Thursday against the White Sox.<\/p>\n
