David Fry and Bo Naylor each hit a three-run homer, José Ramírez had a two-run shot and the Cleveland Guardians hammered the visiting Baltimore Orioles 10-3 on Thursday night in a matchup of two of the AL’s division leaders.

The Guardians outhomered the Orioles, who lead the majors with 172 homers.

Baltimore (65-45) fell into a first-place tie with the New York Yankees in the AL East.

“We played a really good game,” Cleveland first-year manager Stephen Vogt said. “We got to their starter and then added on with the bullpen, and that’s a great recipe to win any game.”

AL Central-leading Cleveland’s 66-42 record is tops in baseball and the club’s best mark through 108 games since the 1995 AL title team started 73-35.

Fry homered in the third off Trevor Rogers (2-10), who went 4 1/3 innings in his debut for the Orioles after being acquired in a trade Tuesday from Miami. The left-hander allowed five runs and six hits.

“It was definitely a whirlwind today, something I haven’t been through before,” said Rogers, who only had a brief conversation with catcher Adley Rutschman before taking the mound. “But I’m not going to sit here and make excuses. I’ve still got to execute the game plan.”

Ramírez hit his 28th homer in the seventh, giving him homers in three straight games for the first time since 2021.

“You’ve got to watch every single at-bat he’s up there,” Vogt said. “You better be watching because he’s going to do something special.”

Naylor’s eighth homer capped a five-run seventh.

Ben Lively (10-6) gave up two runs and four hits in six innings to become Cleveland’s first 10-game winner. He’s 6-1 with a 2.70 ERA in eight home starts.

It was the first of four straight games between the Orioles and Guardians, who could see each other again in the postseason.

Lane Thomas doubled twice in his home debut for the Guardians after coming over in a trade from Washington this week. He’s reached base in 27 straight games.

Anthony Santander hit his 32nd homer for Baltimore, which got just five hits.

BRAVES 4, MARLINS 2 >> Austin Riley and Matt Olson hit first-inning home runs, Orlando Arcia added a shot in the third and Atlanta beat visiting Miami.

The Braves have won five of their last six games.

Charlie Morton (6-6) allowed just one run on five hits in six innings. He had six strikeouts and two walks. Morton allowed the leadoff batter to reach five times in six innings, but kept the Marlins off the scoreboard with the exception of an unearned run in the fifth.

Marcell Ozuna was 2 for 4 with a run, and Olson had two RBIs.

Braves closer Raisel Iglesias pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his 23rd save after A.J. Minter tossed a perfect eighth.

Jake Burger was 2 for 3 with an RBI for the Marlins.

ROYALS 7, TIGERS 1 >> Vinnie Pasquantino homered twice, Seth Lugo gave up just four hits over eight strong innings and Kansas City won at Detroit.

Bobby Witt Jr. also homered for the Royals, who are 4-0 on their current road trip. Detroit has lost four in a row and been outscored 25-5 in those games.

Lugo (13-5) allowed one run, struck out three and walked one after going 1-3 in July. He is 7-0 with a 1.31 ERA in nine starts against the AL Central this season.

Keider Montero (1-5) allowed four runs on six hits in a career-high seven innings.

CUBS 5, CARDINALS 4 >> Pinch hitter Mike Tauchman doubled in Dansby Swanson with the winning run as Chicago scored three times in the bottom of the ninth inning to rally for a victory over St. Louis.

With the Cubs down 4-2, Cody Bellinger hit a solo homer with one out. After Nico Hoerner singled and stole second, Swanson followed with his second RBI single of the night to tie it. Tauchman lined Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley’s 2-2 fastball down the left field line for the win.

Helsley (4-4) blew a save for the third time in 19 chances.

Rookie Masyn Winn hit a two-run homer, then Nolan Arenado added an RBI single in a three-run seventh inning to put St. Louis ahead 4-2.

Paul Goldschmidt hit his 17th homer in the first, then added a single and double. The veteran first baseman has nine hits in his last 20 at bats (.450) over five games.

Bellinger has seven hits in three games since coming back from a broken finger.

St. Louis starter Sonny Gray tossed seven effective innings, allowing two runs on five hits, striking out nine and walking one. Gray was sharp after yielding 24 runs over 28 1/3 innings in five previous starts.
