Guardians use 8-run 6th to beat Nationals
- The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Washington Nationals 8-6 on Wednesday in Washington after an eight-run sixth inning turned the game.
- Before the sixth inning, the Guardians had managed only two hits and had struck out eight times against Nationals starter Michael Soroka, who was making his second start following a biceps injury, but they quickly turned the tide with a powerful offensive surge.
- Carlos Santana’s bases-clearing double began the rally, with the first seven Guardians hitters reaching base as Cleveland sent 13 batters in the inning.
- Gabriel Arias recorded four hits, Steven Kwan scored twice, and closer Emmanuel Clase earned his eighth save to help Cleveland win two of three in Washington within 24 hours.
- The Guardians have now won seven of nine games, while the Nationals’ bullpen struggles contributed to the loss as Washington prepares for a weekend series against St. Louis starting Friday.
