CLEVELAND (AP) — José Ramírez homered in the eighth inning,éRamí Tyler Freeman and Bryan Rocchio had RBIs in the seventh when Cleveland finally got to Boston’s Tanner Houck and the Guardians kept up the best start in their 124-year history with a 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday night.
Ramírez, who had some recent tough luck on hard-hit balls, connected leading off the eighth inning against Cam Booser for his fourth homer.
Batting right-handed, the switch-hitting Ramírez drove a 1-2 pitch that was off the plate into the right-field seats — his first opposite-field homer from the right side since 2017.
“That ball was up and away and he barrels it and hits it out of the ballpark,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “He’s a stud. He’s a good player. Obviously, I’m not rooting for him but you’re in awe. I was like, ‘For real, bro?’
“He’s amazing and that at-bat tells the whole story. He’s one of the best players in baseball.”
