Guardians Extend Winning Streak to Five Games

The Cleveland Guardians have extended their winning streak to five games, capped by a 6-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs to complete a three-game sweep. Alex Cobb's strong performance and Matthew Boyd's successful return from Tommy John surgery, pitching 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball, were pivotal. Jhonkensy Noel has been instrumental, hitting a go-ahead 430-foot homer in a 2-1 win on Tuesday and having a two-homer game on Monday. Emmanuel Clase has been reliable in the bullpen, earning his 37th save. The Guardians now hold the best record in baseball and lead the AL Central.
