<p>CLEVELAND (AP) — David Fry hit a two-run homer, Kolby Allard struck out five in 3 1/3 innings, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Colorado Rockies 5-0 on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>Carlos Santana had two hits and an RBI and José Ramírez added two hits as Cleveland took two of three from the Rockies.</p>
<p>Allard retired nine straight batters with five strikeouts while surrendering just one hit.</p>
<p>Ramírez doubled in the first inning, moving to seventh on the Guardians' career hit list, and Fry followed with a home run over the left field wall for a 2-0 lead.</p>
<p>Jakob Junis (3-1) went two innings while Nic Enright, Hunter Gaddis and Cade Smith each pitched one scoreless inning. Six Cleveland pitchers held the Rockies to three hits.</p>
<p>Colorado starter Kyle Freeland (2-11) gave up three hits and two runs in three innings.</p>
<p>Brayan Rocchio hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth to make it 3-0. Steven Kwan extended his hitting streak to eight games in the eighth inning and scored on Kyle Manzardo's base hit to center field. Santana hit a double to right to make it 5-0.</p>
<p>Colorado's Juan Mejia pitched three scoreless innings with four strikeouts.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Fry's 383-foot homer gave the Guardians an early 2-0 lead. Cleveland is now 44-12 when scoring four or more runs this season.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>Allard's second start of the year was exceptional. The 27-year-old retired nine straight Colorado batters, striking out five and allowing just one hit and no walks.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>After a day off, the Rockies open a three-game series against the Pirates but have yet to announce a starting pitcher. The Guardians will also come off a rest day and begin a series against the Twins, with RHP Gavin Williams (6-4, 3.51 ERA) slated to start the opener.</p>
