Jose Ramirez set a new franchise record for go-ahead home runs, surpassing a Hall of Famer, as he helped the Cleveland Guardians secure a victory against the Detroit Tigers. Ramirez hit two home runs over two days, including a decisive shot that contributed significantly to the team's win. His performance showcased a slugging percentage of .559 with two strikes this season. In a related development, the Guardians called up Kyle Manzardo, their No. 2 prospect, who made his major league debut as a DH, hitting 7th in the lineup. Manzardo, previously a top performer in Triple-A, was traded from the Rays for Aaron Civale and has shown promising stats with a .303 batting average and significant slugging in the minor leagues.
