Guardians top Blue Jays in 3-1 victory

The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in a Friday night game, marking their fourth win in five games. Will Brennan hit a solo home run and scored twice, while Logan Allen pitched five innings for his first career win over Toronto. Brennan and Andrés Giménez each had two hits as the Guardians improved to 31-7 when scoring first. Cleveland has won 11 of its last 16 road games and has a 23-15 record away from home.

Allen, at 7-3, allowed one run and three hits during the game. Toronto, on the other hand, has lost two straight games and three of its last four. Blue Jays’ right-hander Kevin Gausman took the loss after allowing three runs and eight hits in five innings. This marked his second loss in three starts.

The Guardians extended their lead with Brennan’s home run in the fourth inning, his sixth of the season. Brayan Rocchio scored on a hit by Giménez in the fifth inning. Toronto managed to score in the sixth after Ernie Clement hit a leadoff double and Davis Schneider followed with an RBI single.

The game saw strong pitching performances from Cleveland’s bullpen, securing the win. Scott Barlow and Sam Hentges contributed, with Emmanual Clase finishing for his 21st save of the season. The team’s success also led to the cancellation of Akron weekend events for safety reasons.
