Detroit Tigers’ pitchers could only get José Ramirez out so many times before getting crushed.
Going back to game two of Tuesday’s doubleheader, Detroit hurlers had retired the Cleveland slugger seven-straight times, including five strikeouts — one of which came via pitch clock violation.
They couldn’t keep him down forever, though, as Ramirez took Detroit starter Spencer Turnbull well out of Comerica Park for a three-run shot in this one, powering the Guardians to a 3-2 victory in the series finale.
The series’ trend of having little offensive output continued. It wasn’t until the sixth inning when Ramirez’s home run got Cleveland on the board, doubling their scoring for the series.
