Ramírez leads a late charge on offense, propelling the Cleveland Guardians to inflict the Texas Rangers with their most substantial losing streak of the season.
José Ramírez played a pivotal role in the Cleveland Guardians’ 7-0 victory over the Texas Rangers on Monday night, contributing with two-run singles and reaching base five times. This win handed the Rangers their first four-game losing streak of the season.
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt lauded Ramírez for his consistent performance and game-changing impact, expressing admiration for his remarkable contributions and entertaining style of play.
The Guardians showcased formidable pitching, as five pitchers combined efforts to secure a four-hit shutout against the reigning World Series champions. This triumph followed their previous shutout against the Chicago White Sox, marking their first consecutive shutouts since August 5-6, 2020.
In a critical moment, Nick Sandin, entering the game in the sixth inning with the bases loaded, made a pivotal contribution by striking out Adolis García, Texas’ top home run and RBI leader, and retiring Josh Smith on a ground out.
Ramírez continued to shine late in the game, delivering RBI singles in the eighth and ninth innings. He also reached base twice via walks and once due to an error by Corey Seager in the first inning.
The game remained deadlocked until the eighth inning when Brayan Rocchio’s hit into shallow center field broke the stalemate, allowing Estevan Florial to score following his double. A throwing error by Leody Taveras further aided Cleveland’s run.
