Guardians score 6 runs in 2nd inning and beat sloppy Red Sox 8-1

BOSTON (AP) — Gabriel Arias hit a two-run homer that sparked a six-run second inning, and the Cleveland Guardians routed the sloppy Boston Crimson Sox 8-1 on Wednesday night time to keep away from a three-game sweep.

Steven Kwan had three hits and scored twice for the Guardians, and José Ramírez drove in two runs. Rookie left-hander Joey Cantillo (4-3) pitched six spectacular innings, giving up one run on 5 hits and two walks with seven strikeouts.

Boston threw a pair of untamed pitches within the first two innings and dedicated two pricey errors within the second. The Crimson Sox started the day main the majors with 103 errors this season.
