He has the most wins of any pitcher on our team at home. The veteran Ben lively to face the veteran Isaiah kind of falefa chopper, shallow center field high throw and Cleveland gets a break, that ball deflects off the railing by the camera. Well, has an infield hit up. Brian Reynolds, the switch hitting left fielder, he drives one to deep right field, noel back on to the track. He hauls it in for out number one another ball falling on the warning track in right center field in this home stand. Here is o'neil Cruz. He is one of the most gifted athletes in the game, but Pittsburgh has given up on him as a shortstop. This is his second major league game in center field wall is hit in the air to left, moving over. They have to make the catch and back to first two down. And since coming off the Mccutchen, bang it on the ground to third. Ramirez goes to second and is over. Ben Lively makes quick work of the Pirates here in inning. Number one and the Guardians are coming to on the mound. Pirates his 23rd of the season for win number 7, 3479 punch is going to open up. It will be a left on left matchup bottom of the first no score right, center field that's in the alley that will go to the wall will pull into second base with a leadoff double. That was a beautiful swing. A line drive that we haven't seen him hit one like that in quite a while. Inside ball four, first two aboard to start tonight, jose ramirez bending right handed second in baseball but first pitch swinging and a fly ball and it's Reynolds first out here in the first inning for er, and now David Fry is the cleanup man. Runners break and it's popped up on the infield infield fly is called and it's caught by Gonzalez two down. Here's Josh josh in his last two games. Seem to rediscover his offensive game left center field, it's in the alley and it's going to get down. It'll short up the wall. Quan scores Thomas coming home. He is safe. A two out two run double for Josh Naylor. A big two out base hit in the first inning. Always works well, but he took a high fastball. Stay on it beautifully. We haven't seen him hit a ball to the left center field in a while. So that's a good sight. Two nothing. Cleveland Ben Lively here in the third valle. Now at first on the fielder's choice, here's Brian reynolds switch hitter, Manning left handed ball that's off the glove of Naylor and deflects the fouled ground. Now, whether that would have been fair or not, we'll never know, but it's fair once it hit his glove and it's 1st and 3rd and a base hit for Reynolds 1st and 3rd, 2 outs. And now Cruz strike three. Cole painted the inside corner with a fastball. That's another one off the plate. Shelton was ejected after we went to break. He's mad because his hitters are telling him these pitches are not strikes, they're in off the plate and that wasn't it. That was down. He's four calls. There have been four calls you and that was enough. Guardians have runners on the corners with one down in the bottom of the fourth. Austin Hedges comes to the plate. Hedges gets the bunt down. A run will score. He'll be tagged out throw back to second and he is safe. Barely Broch almost got himself caught in no man's land. 3 to 0. Guardians how close this is almost came off the bag, didn't he? Just a tad high? I can't, he's just barely glove wins. Stephen Kwan, the batter, one for two with a double and a run scored to center that's going to drop for a hit around third roo coming home. He will score. It's four nothing Cleveland as they pick up their third two out of the night. You love that right there. Another base hit for the RB. I starting to get that stroke back. Go to left center field, hit that line drive one gone here in the fifth and it's back to the top of the lineup for Isaiah. His dad is always kind of that. Grouch Logans got an ex, what kind of excuse for a play like that? That's not a smart man roo, a gift to the Pirates runners at 1st and 2nd with one out. Yeah, you don't try to make a great play. Just get the out. Look at this backhanded flip is , is, it's uncalled for just, and this glove comes off, just grab the ball and throw to first. You get it out. You've got a four run lead. Nothing fancy that will load the bases on reynolds single to right and o'neill Cruz is coming up quickly. This game could be tied up. Chopper past Naylor and past the second baseman Jimenez. Give o'neill Cruz another hit scores grundle and Kiner-Falefa and Reynolds to third. It's 42 again another chopper this hard infield. Now the cleanup man is Andrew Mccutchen tonight and he's going to bat with runners at 1st and 3rd 2 in RB I 66 and 67 for Cruz. That's a drive to center that sacrifice fly will definitely fly and deep off the wall. Andrew Mccutchen doubles off the wall in center and here comes Cruz for the plate. Kicks off the pitching rubber ties the game two run double for mccutcheon. He's back and it's 44 that good power from Andrew Mccutchen a few feet further to the right to center. I think he thought he had a home run here with three straight hits following that fielder's poor choice. And this drive to right field is impressive. Let's get rowdy clear the deck with a cannonball in Cleveland Soles rocks his 12th and gives the Pirates a 64 lead. That's a no Doubter off the bat. Again, that right center is inviting for the left handed hitters with a fastball there looked like it was right over the heart of the plate. And again, a silly play by the shortstop. Just get it out, who knows where it takes you so true. Bottom of the fifth inning, Pittsburgh now leads it 6 to 4. Here's Naylor Josh with a two run double. His first time up smashed in the middle into center field scoring is jose Josh thought about two. He'll hold with an RB I single. It's a one run game now at 6 to 5 second straight at bat where he's been able to get on a fastball. Now it's John Kensey Noel with Naylor at first base in a 65 game crushed deep left headed to the bleachers. Goodbye. Guardians go right back in front. A laser into the bleachers off the bat of John Kensey Noel his 13th home run of the season. There you have a one quick swing and you take the lead. How about that? They come back and answer the sixth run with a three run of their own and they're not done yet. Seven to six. Cleveland andres Jimenez will bat with only one out and Jimenez deep right field his first home run since June back to back homers here in the fifth and the Guardians indeed come roaring right back Cruz in the two run single in the fifth, extending his hitting streak to 10 straight games batting 4, 32 during this stretch with four double six ribbies. A line drive base hit into rank center field hit so hard. Thomas has to race to cut it off from the wall is in easily on that two out RB I single by o'neil Cruz. He's driven in three tonight and the Pirates are one run closer. It's 87 Cleveland in the sixth. So Cleveland on the Jose Ramirez steal his second tonight 34 on the year. Now, David right field dropping. It's in Thomas scores. Jose gets a late stop and a great throw on one hop to the plate by De La Cruz and the Guardians add to their lead to make it 97. And the Guardians still have runners at the corners and now the batter josh Naylor who's had a double and a single and three RBIs tonight there goes fry and a base hit in the hole right field. Naylor is now hobbling on his way to first base. He's there but he's hurt. Oh, what the heck happened there? R is in, as jose Ramirez came home and now the Guardians will come out and check on Josh Naylor gets the hit and he puts it down and there it is, he just twisted it. Naylor will get a standing ovation as he goes off. He is certainly a cy young candidate. He is without question the best closer in the game. His name Emmanuel Clase 10 to 7. Cleveland ninth inning clean up hitter and the Mccutchen deep right field this ball near the wall and gone Mccutchen. What a return out 12 games with a bad knee, a double and now his 17th homer, he has driven in three and the Pirates down to their last out 10 to 8. Cleveland two down in the Pirate ninth, Brian Dacruz, the hitter for one swing and a little looping liner caught it first, well, full game and there it is career save number 150 Emmanuel Clase, the all time saves leader in Cleveland franchise history. And he's also had 27 consecutive games and the Guardians on a wild one tonight beat Pittsburgh 10 to 8
