CLEVELAND, Ohio — José Ramírez provided the muscle as the Cleveland Indians’ offense came alive late Wednesday afternoon and Shane Bieber delivered his typical steady effort in a 4-2 win against Kansas City.
Ramírez homered twice against Royals relief pitchers, blasting a two-run shot to right field in the eighth off Greg Holland (0-1) after a Ben Gamel walk for what proved to be the winning runs.
Nick Wittgren pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his fifth career save and first since Sept. 4, 2019 against the White Sox. Emmanuel Clase (1-0) struck out a pair of Royals hitters in the eighth and picked up the win, tossing nine pitches that registered 100 mph or more.
