This was either going to be a game recap about the crushing despair of a fourth consecutive loss or the relief from a much-needed victory for the Cleveland Indians. Boy am I glad it turned out to be the latter, all thanks to the ninth-inning heroics of José Ramírez.
It’s no secret that Ramírez has struggled at the plate to start the year, but he has quietly been crawling back to respectability of late. The Indians’ third baseman came into the game having reached base in 17 consecutive games and extended that streak to 18 games with two hits against the White Sox, including the game-winning, two-run, walk-off home run.
