The Night Belongs to Bo Naylor
Bo Naylor is one of the top prospects that the Cleveland Guardians have on their system. There are high expectations for him. Cleveland and the fan base are hoping that he can deliver for years to come. Josh Naylor, his older brother, is one of their best hitters in the lineup and clutch in big situations.

In the bottom of the third inning, Bo Naylor homered to deep right centerfield off Zack Greinke to put the Guardians on the board. In the bottom of the fifth inning, with one man on base, Naylor stepped up to the plate and hit another home run to deep center field. It is Naylor’s first career multi-home run game. Bo Naylor finished the game going 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBIs. He has four home runs and 11 RBIs this season so far.
