CLEVELAND (AP) — José Ramírez connected on a two-run homer and an RBI double as the Cleveland Guardians beat the New York Mets 7-6 on Tuesday night,éRamí matching their longest win streak of the season at five games.
David Fry added his first career pinch-hit home run, a two-run shot in the sixth inning, for the AL Central-leading Guardians. Cleveland has the fourth-best record in the majors at 32-17 and has won six straight at Progressive Field.
Ramírez has driven in 34 runs in his last 34 games — taking over the American Leage lead with 44 — and reached 600 extra-base hits with his homer in the fifth. The five-time All-Star has spent his entire 12-year career with the Guardians.
“I don’t like to talk about numbers, but I thank God for having me here and to do my work,” Ramírez said through an interpreter. “When I’m able to recognize those pitches, it tells me I’m in a good position to connect.”
