The Cleveland Guardians extended their winning streak to nine games with a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. José Ramírez was instrumental in the win, hitting his third home run in two days, including a two-run homer, and reaching 51 RBIs for the season. The Angels struggled with fundamentals and issued eight free bases, contributing to their loss. Luis Guillorme's positioning during a double-steal also played a part. The Guardians' winning streak has seen them achieve 36 wins in 53 games, a feat they last accomplished in 1920, 1954, and 1995—each time going on to the World Series.

Reid Detmers has been all over the place this inning. Two walks and a hit batter. He pays for it with a two-run double. Luis Guillorme also wasn't at third on a double-steal. Not sure if they would have gotten the runner at third. But didn't have the chance. 2-0, Guardians.
