CLEVELAND (AP) — Rookie Jhonkensy Noel singled home Josh Naylor with the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and the Cleveland Guardians rallied for a 7-5 win over the Kansas City Royals, reclaiming sole possession of first place in the AL Central. The Guardians trailed 5-2 entering the seventh, but scored four times to take their first lead. Bo Naylor homered off Michael Wacha, while Josh Naylor, Will Brennan and Noel had RBI singles against Lucas Erceg. Eli Morgan pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the win. Emmanuel Clase earned his AL-best 39th save — with his career-high 26th straight conversion — and matched Cody Allen’s franchise record with 149.
