Guardians secure series sweep and move into second place

The Cleveland Guardians finished the week with a 4-2 record, including a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels. During Sunday's 11-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals, Chase DeLauter recorded four hits, including a double and a triple, while driving in an RBI. José Ramírez hit his 296th career home run in the same game, his first long ball since early June. Earlier in the week, Angel Martínez preserved an 8-6 win against the Los Angeles Angels by making a leaping catch to retire Mike Trout in the eighth inning. The Guardians currently hold second place in the standings as the team prepares for the final stretch of the season.
