Hoskins and DeLauter power the Guardians past the Athletics 8-5
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Rhys Hoskins homered and drove in three runs,
Chase DeLauter went 4 for 4 with two RBIs and the Cleveland Guardians beat the
Athletics 8-5 on Friday night.
The Athletics' Nick Kurtz was walked by Hunter Gaddis in the seventh inning,
his 20th straight game with at least one to tie San Francisco's Barry Bonds
(2002-03) for the second-longest streak in major league history. Detroit's Roy
Culllenbine has the record with 22 consecutive games with a walk, set in 1947.
Kurtz also extended his on-base streak to 26, but the reigning AL Rookie of the
Year struck out against Cade Smith while representing the tying run in the
eighth and finished 0 for 4 with the walk.
Hoskins had a two-run double against J.T. Ginn (0-1) to tie it at 4 in the
fifth and hit a solo homer --- his second of the season --- to put Cleveland up
6-4 in the seventh following a go-ahead sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Angel
Martnez.
DeLauter hit a two-run double that tied it at 2 with two outs in the second.
Cleveland led 8-4 when Kurtz walked to load the bases with no outs. Brent
Rooker, who hit a two-run homer to snap an 0-for-20 slump and give the
Athletics a 2-0 lead in the first, had an RBI single to chase Gaddis. Erik
Sabrowski (1-1) came in and struck out Darell Hernaiz and Tyler Soderstrom
before four-time Gold Glove winner Steven Kwan chased down Colby Thomas's fly
ball at the wall in center to keep it 8-5.
Joey Cantillo allowed four runs and five hits with three walks in four innings
for Cleveland. Smith got the final four outs for his eighth save in 10
opportunities.
Zack Gelof had a two-run single in the fourth to give the Athletics a 4-2 lead.
Guardians rookie Travis Bazzano is 0 for 9 through his first three games, but
walked twice and scored the first two runs of his big league career.
Ginn allowed five runs and five hits with five walks in 4 1/3 innings.
Cleveland has won 22 of the last 27 games against the A's.
