José Ramírez Reaches 900 RBIs: A Milestone in Guardians History
Dominican José Ramírez continues to leave his mark on the history of the Cleveland Guardians. This Saturday, the outstanding player achieved an impressive milestone: 900 RBIs in his Major League career. Ramírez achieved this feat with a single in the second inning of the game against the Oakland Athletics, driving in the first run of the match. The Guardians won the game, with a final score of 4-2, celebrated at Sutter Health Park. With this drive, Ramirez joins a select group of players who have reached this figure in the history of the franchise, since this statistic was made official in 1920. He becomes the fourth player to achieve this, joining legends like Earl Averill (1,084), Jim Thome (937), and Hal Trosky (911).The Guardians’ offense reacted with an explosive four-run rally in the second inning, after a June with an average of 2.8 runs per game. In that episode, all nine batters on the team came to the plate, connecting five hits, including three singles and two doubles, in addition to a walk. Starting pitcher Luis Ortiz also had an outstanding performance, pitching six scoreless innings and striking out 10 batters, tying his personal record. Despite certain offensive limitations, the team showed signs of recovery, evidencing a return to their collective and effective game. The Guardians seek to leave behind a negative streak in June and resume their path in the American League Central Division, driven by the consistency and leadership of Ramírez.José is the heart of this team, and he never stops showing us why he is among the best. He is a born competitor.
