Guardians Earn Win with Late Rally
The Cleveland Guardians topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-10, the lion's share of the credit going to designated hitter Mike Papi. On the day, Papi was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Guardians. Cleveland now sits at 48-51, while Pittsburgh falls to 58-39.

The Guardians were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when 26-year old shortstop Juan Martínez landed a big blow. He turned a 2-2 fastball from Joe Kaiser into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the Progressive Field denizens into a frenzy and sent the Guardians home with a thrilling 11-10 win.

"This place was rocking at the end," Papi said.
