The Tampa Bay Rays topped the Cleveland Guardians, 4-3, in American League action at Tropicana Field.

The Rays got a big at-bat from designated hitter Yandy Díaz. For the game, Díaz went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the sixth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 7th home run of the season gave Tampa Bay a 4-1 lead.

Díaz told reporters after the game: "Took some doing, but we got it done."

Losses have been few and far between for the Guardians so far this season. Their record drops to 18-6.
