Cantillo, 3 relievers combine on 1-hitter, Guardians down Padres 6-1 for

CLEVELAND (AP) --- Joey Cantillo and three relievers combined on a one-hitter
and Jos Ramrez had an RBI in one of his best games since undergoing hand
surgery, leading the Cleveland Guardians to a 6-1 win over the San Diego Padres
on Saturday night.
Cleveland became the third AL franchise to reach 10,000 victories, joining the
New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
Cantillo (9-7) went six innings and cooled off the Padres, who had won six
straight and 16 of 20 since July 24. The left-hander allowed only a single in
the first inning on a ball that hopped over first baseman Nathaniel Lowe.
Colin Holderman, Hunter Gaddis and Erik Sabrowski finished up.
Cleveland hasn't had a no-hitter since 1981 --- the longest current drought in
the majors.
Cantillo had pitched just one inning since Aug. 4 because his last outing was
cut short by a lengthy rain delay.
Ramrez has struggled since returning from having his left hamate bone removed
on June 16. He was given Friday off and the rest helped. The star third baseman
collected his first extra-base hit since the operation and delivered a
sacrifice fly.
It was a much-needed win for the Guardians, who are just 3-8 since the trade
deadline and were sliding back in the AL playoff race.
Cleveland took a 4-1 lead in the fifth on Steven Kwan's run-scoring double and
Ramrez's fly to center.
The Guardians tacked on two more in the seventh on a play in which Kwan was
credited for a steal of home and two errors were charged to Padres second
baseman Jake Cronenworth, who dropped a throw and threw wildly to third.
