Jose Ramirez hit a go-ahead home run, Tanner Bibee struck out seven in six strong innings, and the Guardians’ bullpen was nails, again, as Cleveland beat Baltimore 3-2 in the opening of a three-game series.
This was a fun game to watch from start to finish. It always helps when the Guardians score an early run, as they did when Jose Ramirez singled Steven Kwan home in the first. It was a bad game for Josh Naylor who did not see Orioles’ starter Cade Povich well at all, and David Fry still seems to be working out of his slump, so that was all they scored.
