Cleveland won its second in a row 10-8 over the Pirates on Friday night and five relievers allowed two earned runs on three hits in 4 2/3 innings. Jhonkensy Noel hit a go-ahead two-run in the fifth for the Guardians, who are back in first place in the AL Central. Pittsburgh has been in free fall the past few weeks and it currently is on a four-game losing streak while falling into last place in the NL Central. The Pirates are 0-5 their past five games against a team that allowed at least five runs its previous game and they have lost four straight after scoring five or more runs. Matthew Boyd has pitched well in his three starts this season for Cleveland as he has given up just five runs in 16 2/3 innings and the Guardians won all three. The UNDER is 7-0 in Luis Ortiz's past seven road starts and the Pirates are 6-0 UNDER when he starts as a road underdog. Take the Guardians and the UNDER.
