Guardians Beat Athletics, Ramírez Hits 900th RBI

The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Oakland Athletics 4-2, with Luis Ortiz striking out 10 over six scoreless innings and José Ramírez reaching his 900th career RBI in a decisive four-run second inning. Bo Naylor and Johnathan Rodríguez hit back-to-back RBI doubles, while Steven Kwan and Ramírez added run-scoring singles. Athletics rookie Nick Kurtz, despite his recent streak of three game-winning home runs in five games, could not overcome his team's pitching struggles, as starter Mitch Spence allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings. The Athletics have now allowed 150 more runs than Cleveland this season. The Guardians improved to 38-37, securing their third win on a nine-game West Coast trip. Tanner Bibee is scheduled to start for Cleveland in the next game of the series.
