CLEVELAND (AP) — Tanner Bibee pitched seven strong innings and Ramón Laureano drove in the game’s only run in his Cleveland debut, giving the Guardians a 1-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Bibee allowed six singles — three by Whit Merrifield — and remained unbeaten in his last nine starts.
Laureano, claimed off waivers on Monday from Oakland, hit an RBI double in the second inning off Yusei Kikuchi, who gave up three hits in seven innings.
Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase worked around two infield singles in the ninth for his 30th save.
Toronto had its four-game winning streak stopped.
