CLEVELAND (AP) — Kole Calhoun’s towering three-run homer capped Cleveland’s five-run seventh inning as the Guardians rallied for an 8-3 win and cooled off the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost for just the third time in August.
Calhoun was acquired earlier this month in a trade from the NL West leaders for cash. He connected in the seventh off reliever Caleb Ferguson as the Guardians came from behind to stun baseball’s hottest team.
The Dodgers are 17-3 in August and 25-10 since the All-Star break.
Oscar Gonzalez also homered for Cleveland.
The Guardians trailed 3-2 entering the seventh after being held to six hits over 6 1/3 innings by Dodgers rookie starter Bobby Miller.
