Early Deficit and an Epic Comeback 😱

But the Guardians came roaring back in the bottom of the 4th, kicked off by a single from Josh Naylor. Jhonkensy Noel followed it up with a massive 3-run homer to make it 4-3.

In the 5th inning, Steven Kwan hit a two-run shot to give us a 6-3 lead, and Noel added another homer in the 6th. The Guardians were firing on all cylinders! A key single by Austin Hedges led to a walk and a big moment for Kwan.

Cubs Battle Back, Guardians Stay Strong 🔥

The Cubs didn't go down quietly, cutting the lead to 8-7 in the chaotic 7th inning, which included a critical three-RBI double by Dansby Swanson. But José Ramírez was determined, starting the 8th with a double and later scoring the go-ahead run on a single from Naylor.

Clase Shuts the Door! 🚪🔒

The top of the 9th belonged to Emmanuel Clase, who came in and struck out two batters including Crow-Armstrong, ensuring the victory for the Guardians.

This game was a true testament to the heart and grit of our Cleveland Guardians. Here's to more thrilling victories! 🥳⚾
