Noel went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Cubs.
After homering twice Monday, Noel launched a 430-foot bomb off Drew Smyly with two outs in the sixth inning, putting the Guardians ahead 2-1. The 23-year-old Noel is now 4-for-7 with three long balls in his last two games after going just 2-for-13 in his previous six contests. While he's mostly occupied the short side of a platoon in right field with Will Brennan, Noel's impressive power could earn him a more substantial role down the stretch. He's now slashing .265/.311/.627 with nine homers, 17 RBI and 11 runs scored through his first 90 plate appearances.
