Naylor brothers key big frame for Guardians in 7

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Naylor hit a three-run homer, Bo Naylor had a two-run double and the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians beat the Texas Rangers 7-4 on Tuesday night, handing the reigning World Series champions their season-high fifth consecutive loss.

Those big hits by the Naylor brothers came in a six-run second inning for the Guardians. Older brother Josh’s 12th homer with two outs put them up 6-0 and chased top pitching prospect Jack Leiter (0-1).

“Made him work, made him come into the zone and then got some big hits,” first-year Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said. “Bo with a huge double, and then obviously Josh with the exclamation point.”

Adolis García, Corey Seager and Nathaniel Lowe hit solo homers for the Rangers (22-22).

Ben Lively (2-2) struck out five and walked three in five innings, with the only runs coming on those homers. The right-hander had given up only two long balls over 27 1/3 innings in his first five starts of the season.
