Jose Abreu and Welington Castillo also went deep in the victory for Chicago, which has outscored opponents 17-5 during its three-game winning streak. Moncada went 2-for-13 with six strikeouts over his previous four contests before going 3-for-4 with his second multi-homer performance of the season. Jose Lindor registered both of Cleveland’s hits and drove in both runs with his 13th career leadoff homer and a sacrifice fly in the third inning. Jose Ramirez was hitless in four at-bats and is 0-for-10 over his last three games for the Indians, who have lost six of their last nine contests.
