Record-Breaking Blast: Ramírez Leads Guardians to Victory

At the start of the day, José Ramírez was tinkering with his camera to capture the eclipse. By the end, he was making history for the Guardians. His two-run homer in the fifth inning against Bryan Shaw secured a 4-0 win over the White Sox, extending the team’s winning streak to five and marking their best start since 2011.

Ramírez’s blast not only put him atop the franchise’s third baseman home run list with 173, surpassing Al Rosen, but also marked his 100th career homer at Progressive Field. Cleveland has found success despite injuries to key players like Gavin Williams and Shane Bieber. The bullpen has held firm, and the offense has thrived, easing the burden on Ramírez to carry the team single-handedly. With the team firing on all cylinders, moments like Monday’s home run seem almost effortless.
