Steven Kwan and rookie Jhonkensy Noel each hit solo homers, and six Cleveland pitchers combined to record 14 strikeouts, as the Guardians beat the visiting San Francisco Giants 5–4 on Saturday.

Kwan’s ninth homer in the second inning gave the hosts a 4–0 lead, but Noel’s blast in the sixth proved critical with Cleveland clinging to a 4–3 edge at the time.
