Cantillo has 10 strikeouts in his fifth career start and sixth major league appearance overall. The 24-year-old has thrown 99 pitches, 65 for strikes.

Cantillo, recalled from Triple-A Columbus earlier in the day, is looking for his first major league win. He stepped into the rotation after Alex Cobb was scratched Saturday because of a blister on his right middle finger.

Cleveland had a 5-1 lead.
