Ramírez's 3 Doubles Fuel Guardians' Comeback Victory
26 Aug
Summary
- Ramírez drove in five runs with three doubles in the comeback win.
- Kwan recorded five singles, contributing to the offensive surge.
- The Guardians secured their sixth consecutive victory against the Angels.
The Cleveland Guardians extended their winning streak to six games with an exhilarating 8-6 extra-inning victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. José Ramírez was the offensive catalyst, delivering three doubles that accounted for five runs batted in, including the decisive two-run double in the tenth inning.
Steven Kwan was instrumental in the Guardians' rally, achieving his second career five-hit game. His leadoff single in the tenth set the stage for Ramírez's heroics. The Angels had initially taken a substantial 5-0 lead early in the game, but Cleveland steadily chipped away at the deficit.
Key defensive plays, such as Angel Martínez's leaping catch to rob a potential home run, helped preserve the tie. The Guardians' bullpen was effective, with Erik Sabrowski and Cade Smith closing out the game, with Smith earning his 35th save. The Angels' Vaughn Grissom homered twice in the contest, but it wasn't enough to overcome Cleveland's late-game surge.
