When manager Alex Cora pulled him, Kluber, a two-time Cy Young winner with Cleveland, made a slow walk from the mound where he had so much success to Boston's dugout. Kluber, who was recently demoted to the bullpen, was tagged for seven runs and 11 hits in 3 1/3 innings. After Ramírez homered, Andrés Giménez hit a two-run double, Myles Straw hit an RBI triple and Brennan singled home a run as the Guardians opened an 8-2 lead. Triston Casas chased Civale in the sixth with his seventh homer to pull Boston within 3-2.īut Cleveland, whose offense has awakened after a slow start, pounded former teammate Corey Kluber in the sixth. "It's not the type of baseball we want to play," said manager Alex Cora. Will Brennan added a homer as the Guardians won the series and handed the Red Sox their fifth loss in six games. "If that was back in the day like Brooks Robinson, that play would be shown over and over and over," Guardians manager Terry Francona said said. Ramírez also showed off some of his defensive prowess in the sixth by backhanding Justin Turner's hard shot and throwing off balance across the diamond to get Boston's third baseman while backpedaling in foul territory. But when he plays the game the way he plays it, he's the best in the game."
"He might not be on paper the most talented. "He plays the game the best way every single night. "Everyone in (the clubhouse) would say the same thing, he's the best player in the game," said Cleveland starter Aaron Civale (2-1), who had his second straight solid start. Cleveland got one from Rocky Colavito on June 10, 1959. There have only been 16 four-homer games in the majors since 1901. "My last two at-bats I was swinging away," Ramírez admitted. The four-time All-Star third baseman had another chance in the eighth, and grounded to third. Ramírez came up a second time in the sixth bidding for a rare four-homer game, but struck out swinging. Ramírez connected for a solo shot in the first inning off Matt Dermody (0-1), belted a two-run shot - his 200th career homer - in the third and added another solo blast in the sixth when the Guardians hit for the cycle, had eight straight hits and scored five times. Ramírez homered in his first three at-bats - and from both sides of the plate - to power the Cleveland Guardians to a 10-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night. CLEVELAND (AP) - José Ramírez's only misses came on swings for history.
