Guardians Hang 7-2 Loss on Cubs
The Cleveland (Rk+) Guardians topped the Chicago (Rk+) Cubs, 7-2, with center fielder Alex Grant playing a big role. Grant went 2 for 5 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Guardians in the win. Joe McCaw picked up the win in relief. Jacopo Figura took the loss for Chicago (Rk+). The Guardians, now 6-3, have played some good baseball in the early going.

There was more than one reason the Guardians beat the Cubs, but Grant's big at-bat in the top of the third was an important factor. He staked his team to a 2-0 lead when he hit a 2-run single.

"Alex raked," said Cleveland (Rk+) manager Greg Malhiot.
