CLEVELAND — The Atlanta Braves have traded struggling for streaking, and their first sweep in two months cooled off the formerly hot Cleveland Guardians.

Jurickson Profar hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning, and the Braves won their season-best fifth straight game, rallying past the Guardians 5-4 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep in the interleague pairing at Progressive Field.

Atlanta trailed 4-1 after four innings in the finale. With one out in the sixth, Profar pulled a 3-2 slider from Nic Enright (2-1) over the wall in right field to put the Braves ahead.

Profar also made a diving catch in left field of a liner by Gabriel Arias for the second out in the bottom of the ninth.

Aaron Bummer (3-2) worked two innings of scoreless relief for the win on the mound, and Dylan Lee, Pierce Johnson and Raisel Iglesias pitched a scoreless frame each.
