CLEVELAND (AP) — José Ramírez homered to end a 12-pitch at-bat and had three RBIs and Logan Allen pitched six strong innings,éRamí sending the Cleveland Guardians to an 11-4 romp on Saturday night over the Minnesota Twins, who lost their fifth straight and remained in an offensive funk.
Ramírez set the tone with his two-run homer in the first inning off Bailey Ober (4-2) and added an RBI double on the same night the Guardians celebrated their All-Star third baseman with a bobblehead giveaway.
“It seems like everyone’s calling his home run every single time in the dugout,” said Cleveland’s Tyler Freeman, who had a career-high four hits with three RBIs. “It’s so fun to play behind him and when he gets it going early on, it just lights a fire for us.”
Needing a triple for the cycle — Cleveland’s lone one at home came in 1933 — Ramírez popped to second in the sixth and grounded to first in the seventh.
