🧢 Game Summary
After dropping Friday’s opener, Cleveland responded with one of its most complete performances of the season.
The game remained scoreless until the fourth inning when José Ramírez launched a solo homer into the bullpen beyond right field to give the Guardians a 1-0 lead.
One inning later, the offense broke the game open. Brayan Rocchio started the scoring barrage with a solo shot off the right-field foul pole. Chase DeLauter followed with an RBI single, Kyle Manzardo added a run-scoring double, and Daniel Schneemann capped the rally with an RBI single to make it 5-0.
That was more than enough support for Tanner Bibee, who delivered arguably his best outing of the season. The right-hander scattered just three hits across eight scoreless innings and earned his first victory of 2026 after receiving little run support through much of the year.
Travis Bazzana added an RBI in the eighth inning as the Guardians completed the shutout and evened the series at one game apiece.
