Cade Smith - Fans two to secure save Smith earned the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Athletics, striking out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Smith breezed through Friday's outing, fanning the first two batters he faced while needing only 14 pitches (nine strikes) to come away with his third save in his last four outings and 38th of the year, which is second-most in the majors behind Bryan Baker (40). Smith is up to 100 strikeouts on the year, marking the third consecutive season in which he's cracked the century mark. He has a 2.06 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 70 innings this season.

Brayan Rocchio - Collects two RBI Friday Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a two-run double, a steal and a run scored during the Guardians' 5-3 win over the Athletics on Friday.

Impact Rocchio got the Guardians on the board with a two-run double in the fourth inning before coming home to score on an RBI single by Jose Ramirez. It was Rocchio's fifth multi-RBI game over his last 14 games, during which he has a .972 OPS with three home runs, 15 RBI, 10 runs scored and four steals.

José Ramírez - Logs two RBI, one steal vs. A's Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a steal during the Guardians' 5-3 win over the Athletics on Friday.

Impact Ramirez contributed to the Guardians' three-run fourth inning with an RBI single to center field before extending the team's lead to 503 with a solo homer in the sixth. It was his second consecutive game with two hits, and it looks like the superstar third baseman may have broken out of his slump out of plate (6-for-53 in his 13 games from Sept. 1 to 15). Ramirez is also up to 34 steals on the year, which is seventh-most in the majors, though he needs six more to reach 40 swiped bags for a third consecutive season.

Joey Cantillo - Earns win in bulk-relief role Cantillo (10-9) earned the win against the Athletics on Friday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings.

Impact Daniel Espino served as Cleveland's opener Friday, though he gave up a three-run home run to Zack Gelof in the first inning. Cantillo was brought out for the second frame, and the 26-year-old southpaw proceeded to keep the Athletics off the board over the next six innings while limiting the A's to only three baserunners. He's tossed two consecutive scoreless outings across 10 innings, which has Cantillo at a 3.74 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 167:79 K:BB over 154 innings this season. He figures to make his next appearance -- as a starter or otherwise -- next week against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, in what could be his final outing of the regular season.

The 24-year-old is back in action against Athletics lefty Mason Barnett for Friday's series opener.

Joey Cantillo - Bulk-relief role on tap Cantillo is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Daniel Espino in Friday's game against the Athletics, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Guardians will go back to the well with the Espino/Cantillo pairing for a second straight turn through the rotation after the duo combined for 10 punchouts over six scoreless frames in a 4-3 loss to the Twins last Saturday. Though Cantillo hasn't notched a victory in any of his last six appearances (five starts), being deployed in bulk relief should nonetheless increase his chances of qualifying for a win more than if he was used as a traditional starter.

Daniel Espino - Opening Friday's contest Espino is slated to serve as the Guardians' opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Athletics, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Espino will draw his second start in less than a week, but he's not expected to cover more than an inning or two before giving way to the bullpen. Lefty Joey Cantillo is available on five days' rest and is expected to work in bulk relief behind Espino.
