Overview

• Cleveland seized control early as José Ramírez’s three-run blast in the first gave the Guardians the lead they never relinquished
• Ramírez’s homer marked his 20th of the season and extended his streak to five consecutive 20/20 campaigns, tying him for third-most in MLB history
• Tanner Bibee earned his second straight win by lasting seven innings and limiting Baltimore to five runs, three of them earned
• Orioles starter Tomoyuki Sugano struggled with command, walking a season-high four batters in 3⅔ innings before the bullpen yielded a four-run seventh
• Despite stranding a season-high 15 runners, Cleveland’s timely hitting and depth of offense secured a 1-0 edge in the four-game series
