José Ramírez was a standout performer for Cleveland, collecting three hits and scoring three runs, helping drive the Guardians to their 23rd win in their last 32 games.

Guardians Battle Back from Multiple Deficits

The game started with the Marlins grabbing a 3-0 lead in the first inning, highlighted by an RBI single from Augustin Ramírez. Additional runs scored when Guardians catcher Austin Hedges dropped a throw at the plate, allowing Kyle Stowers and Ramírez to cross home without a play. The Guardians responded quickly, but still trailed 4-3 in the fourth inning.

Big Fifth and Seventh Innings Propel Cleveland

Gabriel Arias delivered a crucial sacrifice fly in a two-run fifth inning against Marlins starter Edward Cabrera, putting Cleveland ahead for good at 5-4. The Guardians then broke the game open in the seventh, scoring four runs off Miami reliever Valente Bellozo. David Fry and Brayan Rocchio each contributed RBI singles to cap the rally.

Pitching Performances

Tanner Bibee earned his fifth consecutive win for Cleveland, working 5 2/3 innings and allowing four runs, just two of which were earned. Cade Smith entered in a pressure situation in the ninth with the bases loaded and two outs, retiring Liam Hicks for his sixth save of the season. Marlins starter Edward Cabrera gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings and took the loss.

Game Highlights and Notable Stats

One of the game's key moments occurred in the first inning when Kyle Stowers was initially called out at the plate, but the call was reversed after Austin Hedges lost control of the ball, allowing Stowers to score. José Ramírez set a milestone during the game, moving past Kenny Lofton into third place in franchise history with 977 runs scored. Ramírez, a seven-time All-Star, has played his entire 13-year career with the Guardians.
