CHICAGO -- Jose Ramirez, as he has all season, delivered in a clutch situation against the White Sox on Thursday at Guaranteed Rate Field. Putting the Indians' recent offensive struggles struggles behind him, Ramirez broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning by clubbing his 20th home run, becoming the fourth player in MLB to reach that milestone as the Indians won, 5-2.
Not only did Ramirez's dinger put him in the 20-homer club alongside Angels outfielder Mike Trout, Red Sox DH J.D. Martinez and A's outfielder Khris Davis, it extended his on-base streak to 22 games dating back to May 22.
