Joey Cantillo struck out nine over five innings of one-run ball, Brayan Rocchio homered and drove in two and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Miami Marlins 5-2 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.
Rookie Chase DeLauter also went deep while Steven Kwan and Kahlil Watson each had two hits for the Guardians, who are 51-46 going into the All-Star break.
The Marlins had won six straight at home entering the series and were a major league-best 26-8 since June 1. They enter the break at 52-45.
Cantillo (8-4) allowed six hits and walked two. The left-hander escaped a bases-loaded situation with no outs in the second, when he retired Esteury Ruiz on a pop-out before striking out Rece Hinds and Brian Navarreto.
Cleveland starters limited Miami to four runs over 17 2/3 innings in the series, while relievers allowed two runs over the remaining 9 1/3 innings.
