Cleveland plays lights out in routing D-backs in Phoenix

The Guardians cruised through the series finale, scoring two runs in the first, three in the second and six more in the fourth for an 11-1 lead. Right-hander Tanner Bibee (3-2) gave up three runs and seven hits in five innings, striking out six and walking three.

Cleveland pounded out 16 hits. It accomplished much of its damage off D-backs starter Zach Davies, who has struggled since his return from the injured list in late May.

Cleveland scored two in the first after leadoff batter Steven Kwan reached on an error by shortstop Nick Ahmed. José Ramírez drove Kwan home with a triple, and Josh Naylor’s double scored Ramírez.

Kwan was in the middle of the action again in the second with a two-run triple that scored Will Brennan and Myles Straw. Amed Rosario’s sacrifice fly pushed the Guardians’ advantage to 5-0.

Kwan scored four times and drove in three runs. Straw, Brennan, Rosario and Tyler Freeman all had two hits.

Arizona’s Christian Walker hit a solo homer — his second long ball in two days — to cut the margin to 5-1. But the Guardians responded with six more runs in the fourth, punctuated by a two-run triple from Andrés Giménez.

Davies (1-3) gave up nine runs, including eight earned, over 3 2/3 innings. He surrendered nine hits, walked one and struck out two. The right-hander has a 7.11 ERA over seven starts this season.

The D-backs say a downtown power surge in Phoenix led to a 15-minute delay in the first inning after some of the lights went out at Chase Field.

The game was played in the afternoon, but temperatures in the 100s in central Arizona meant the 25-year-old stadium’s retractable roof was closed.

“Our facility staff reacted quickly to power backup systems and reset all functions,” the D-backs said in a statement. “After a 15-minute delay, systems were restored to adequate levels for play to continue.”

Anthony Misiewicz was claimed off waivers by the Tigers. The D-backs designated the left-hander for assignment on June 12.
