Surging Guardians beat the White Sox 3-1

CLEVELAND (AP) — C.J. Kayfus and Jhonkensy Noel homered, helping Parker Messick and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Saturday night.

Kayfus connected for a two-run shot in the second against Davis Martin (6-10). The rookie also hit a two-run during a 3-2 victory over Kansas City on Thursday night.

The Guardians (77-71) won for the ninth time in 11 games. They are trying to rally into the third AL wild-card slot.

Noel’s pinch-hit drive off Fraser Ellard made it 3-1 in the eighth. It was his fourth homer of the season.

Cade Smith handled the ninth for his 14th save in 19 opportunities.
