Cecconi (5-4) allowed six runs on eight hits with two strikeouts. The right-hander retired the first 12 Athletics he faced before Rooker led off the fifth with a solo shot to left.

Rodríguez came into the game 11 for 81 in two big-league seasons before he drove a fastball from JP Sears (7-8) into the bleachers in left-center field in the second inning.

The Guardians broke it open with four runs in the third, including an RBI hit from Angel Martinez, Fry's two-run homer and Carlos Santana's sacrifice fly to bring in Ramírez.

Key moment Cleveland extended its lead to 7-0 in the fourth inning on a two-run double by Brayan Rocchio.

Key stat It is the first big-league home victory of Cecconi's career. He was 0-6 with a 7.39 ERA in 17 home games, including 11 starts, in three seasons with Arizona and Cleveland coming into the game.

Up next RHP Luis Severino (2-11, 5.16 ERA) goes for the Athletics while Cleveland counters with LHP Logan Allen (6-7, 4.00 ERA) on Saturday night.
