Guardians Stun Red Sox, 6-5
The Cleveland Guardians beat the Boston Red Sox by a score of 6-5. Cleveland center fielder Hoot Evers deserved the lion's share of the credit. Evers went 3 for 3 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Guardians. The winner was Johnny Sain, who threw 153 pitches over 7.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 5 runs on 10 hits. The Red Sox fall to 6-12 and continue to sputter in the early going.

Evers had an important at-bat with the bases empty in the top of the eighth, when he hit a solo home run. The Guardians went on to win.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Evers, "and then get after it again."
