No one was more impactful than Marcell Ozuna in the 4-3 Cleveland win over Kansas City. Ozuna, who finished 2nd in the AL in extra base hits with 83 in 2021, went 2-4 with 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Edwin Diaz recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 19 for 20. The Guardians have now won 7 straight.

David Fletcher went 1 for 4 for Cleveland. The 29-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Clay Holmes. It was his 29th RBI of the season.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Ozuna told the Cleveland Bulletin.
