CLEVELAND—Josh Naylor delivered a clutch, three-run double in the seventh inning Sunday as the Cleveland Guardians continued their best start in 25 years with a 6–2 win over the Oakland Athletics to complete a three-game series sweep.

With the Guardians up 3–2, Naylor, who celebrated a two-run homer on Saturday by bashing the top of his helmet with his bat before rounding the bases, fell behind 0–2 in the count and then doubled with the bases loaded off left-hander T.J. McFarland.
