CLEVELAND (AP) — Daniel Schneemann singled home rookie Angel Genao from third base in the 10th inning to send Cleveland to a 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, the Guardians' third walk-off victory in the four-game series.

With a runner at second, Patrick Bailey opened the 10th with a single off Kyle Finnegan (3-1). Schneemann then ripped a 1-0 pitch into right, triggering another celebration by the Guardians, who are chasing Chicago in the AL Central.

The Guardians didn't lead at any point in the series until their final swing. Cleveland swept a doubleheader on Friday before being shut out Saturday. It's the first time the Guardians have had three walk-off wins in a series since 2013.

Cade Smith (5-1) pitched two perfect innings, striking out the side in the 10th with an automatic runner at second.

Brayan Rocchio homered for the Guardians, who moved one game ahead of Toronto for the final wild-card spot.

Guardians starter Gavin Williams had another solid outing, allowing two runs and striking out 11 in six innings. It's the right-hander's 11th double-digit strikeout game this season — most in the majors.

Rocchio tied it 2-2 in the fifth with his 13th homer, a shot to right that cut through a stiff breeze blowing into Progressive Field.

The homer off Tigers starter Jackon Jobe came two days after Rocchio became the sixth player to hit a grand slam and walk-off homer in the same game.

Riley Greene, who homered twice and drove in four runs in Saturday's 6-0 win, put the Tigers up 2-0 in the first with a two-run double.

The Guardians got a run back in the first on consecutive doubles by Steven Kwan and rookie Travis Bazzana.

Tigers: RHP Troy Melton (7-4, 2.20 ERA) opens a three-game series at Minnesota. The Twins have not yet named their starter.

Guardians: LHP Joey Cantillo (9-8, 3.81) starts the opener of a three-game set in Baltimore against Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers (9-9. 4.30).

MIAMI (AP) — An Amazon cargo plane barreled off a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, striking vehicles, bursting into flames and sending thick black smoke into the sky in a crash that shut down flights at one of the nation’s busiest airports.

More than 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the crash, arriving to find the aircraft on fire as crews worked to extinguish the flames and assess patients. Officials had not yet released information on injuries or deaths.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the aircraft overran the runway around 2 p.m. after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said the plane struck multiple vehicles after leaving the runway.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the FAA was sending investigators and issued a full ground stop at Miami International as emergency crews responded.

The Prime Air plane came to rest beside a roadway near two semi-trucks, according to images from the scene. The aircraft appeared to be resting on its belly and was largely intact despite the fire.

The flight had been operated by 21 Air, a cargo carrier based in North Carolina. The 32-year-old Boeing 767 was originally built to carry passengers and flew for several airlines for more than two decades before being converted to a cargo plane in 2015, according to flight-tracking site Flightradar24.

All runways and taxiways were closed, an airport spokesperson said. About 250 flights were delayed at the airport as of late afternoon Sunday, according to FlightAware, a website that tracks flight disruptions.

The FAA warned that delays were likely to persist even after the airport reopened, with arrivals and departures expected to resume at a reduced rate.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was gathering information about the crash.

“We’re working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened,” Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in a social media post. “Right now, our absolute priority is the safety, well-being, and care of everyone involved.”
