The Guardians kept division-leading Minnesota from clinching by taking down the high-flying Orioles.
José Ramírez reached base in his first three plate appearances, including an RBI single off Rodriguez in the fifth that broke a scoreless tie and led to a two-run inning. Ramírez followed a leadoff walk by Bo Naylor and a one-out single by Steven Kwan with his 79th RBI on a fastball from Rodriguez that he drilled into center field. Ramírez had singled to right in his previous at-bat and walked in the first inning. He entered the game batting .
The O’s tied the score with a pair of runs in the eighth off beleaguered reliever Trevor Stephan, who allowed an RBI ground out to Anthony Santander and a two-out double by Ryan O’Hearn that knotted the score at 2. Adley Rutschman set up the inning with a double high off the wall in left. “He’s getting himself into a hole and then he got in a 3-1 count and I think he was trying to come up and in and just left it over the middle,” Francona said.
