Ramírez Reaches 1,000 RBIs as Guardians Top A’s

José Ramírez hit a game-tying RBI single and a go-ahead solo homer as the Cleveland Guardians rallied past the Athletics 5-3 on Friday, keeping them tied with the Chicago White Sox atop the AL Central with the regular season nearing its end. The sixth-inning homer was Ramírez’s 12th of the season and the 1,000th RBI of his career, making him only the second player in Cleveland history to reach that milestone. He also stole his 34th base, while rookie Travis Bazzana hit the decisive fifth-inning homer and Joey Cantillo delivered six scoreless innings. Cleveland has won three of its last four games, including two against Chicago, and is mounting a late push for a third division title in four years despite Ramírez posting a down season by his usual standards.
