The Cleveland Guardians secured a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, aided by Andrés Giménez's two-run homer in the sixth inning. Matthew Boyd dominated on the mound, allowing only one run and three hits over six innings, while striking out six batters. Despite a strong performance from Dodgers pitcher Landon Knack, who struck out a career-high eight, the Guardians' offense proved decisive. Shohei Ohtani contributed a solo home run for the Dodgers, marking his 45th of the season and reaching 100 RBIs. Emmanuel Clase closed the game with his 42nd save, helping the Guardians maintain their lead in the AL Central. The game took place amid unusually high temperatures, prompting the Dodgers to skip batting practice for the weekend.
