Avila (4-1) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning, earning the win Tuesday over the Cubs.
Avila got the last two outs in the top of the sixth inning before the Guardians took the lead in their half of the frame. The right-hander's tenure in Cleveland started off rough, but he's been steady with just two runs allowed and a 17:6 K:BB over 14.2 innings since the All-Star break. Overall, he has a 3.68 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 67:29 K:BB through 63.2 innings between the Guardians and the Padres this season.
