Overview

  • Ramírez went 3-for-4 with homers in the first and eighth innings, the latter off Calvin Faucher securing a 4-3 win over Miami.
  • His 27th career multihomer game surpassed Jim Thome and Albert Belle for the franchise lead and marked his second such performance this season.
  • An early back-to-back homer sequence with Kyle Manzardo gave Cleveland a 2-0 edge before Miami rallied for three runs in the fifth inning.
  • Steven Kwan’s throw from left field produced his MLB-leading 11th outfield assist, setting up a sixth-inning tag at home by Bo Naylor that stifled Miami’s momentum.
  • Reliever Cade Smith recorded 1⅓ scoreless innings to earn the win and extend the Guardians’ hot stretch to six victories in seven games.
