Josh Naylor puts a stop to Cleveland’s four-game skid

Cleveland coughed up a five-run lead but Josh Naylor’s go-ahead home run in the eighth inning was enough to top the Los Angeles Angels and put the brakes on a four-game skid.

Andrew Heaney did not get a warm welcome from Cleveland in the first inning. Cesar Hernandez did him a solid and struck out to start the game, but then Amed Rosario nearly blasted a hole through Heaney with a liner up the middle. Heaney made the mistake of serving up a home run pitch to José Ramírez, giving Cleveland a 2-0 lead.
