Cam Gallagher powers Guardians past Chicago 3-1

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Backup catcher Cam Gallagher threw out 2 base stealers and had an RBI single as the Guardians took the series finale in Chicago Thursday, 3-1.

The single broke an 0-for-34 skid by Gallagher and it was the first hit by any Cleveland catcher in the month of May.

Gabirel Arias had 2 hits, including a solo homer, while Brayan Rocchio made 2 sparkling plays at third base, filling in for Jose Ramirez.

Ramirez, on the bereavement list, missed the 3-game series but is expected back this weekend against the Mets in New York.

Emmanuel Clase worked the 9th for his 15th save.
