5 Straight Wins for Guardians
Cleveland (Rk+) right fielder Ryan Staples was a significant contributor in his team's 3-1 triumph over the Chicago (Rk+) Cubs. He was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk for the Guardians. Picking up the save was Bryan Harmon, his 4th. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for Cleveland (Rk+).

Franklin Jimenez drew 1 walk in 4 plate appearances for Cleveland (Rk+). The 20-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Carlos Cruz. It was his 20th RBI of the season.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Staples told the Cleveland (Rk+) Daily. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
