Rendon Slugs Guardians to 10-4 Win
Behind a solid performance from first baseman Anthony Rendon, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Boston Red Sox, 10-4. Rendon went 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Guardians. Milt Gaston was the winner. He's now 4-15. The loser was two-time All-Star Tom Gordon. The Guardians raised their record to 49-78.

Cleveland used the hitting of Luis Urias to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Guardians on top, 5-0. For the game, Urias had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We hit the ball hard," said Cleveland manager Kevin Conway. "Line drive after line drive."
