What happened: Jose Ramirez hit a two-run home run to give the Cleveland Guardians the lead. The swing provided an advantage as the team fights to avoid postseason elimination.

Why it matters: Ramirez continues to produce offensively when facing elimination pressure. The early run support is critical for a pitching staff that required eight pitchers to secure a four-run victory one day prior.

What to watch: Cleveland will attempt to protect the advantage and extend their postseason run. The pitching staff must hold the narrow margin to secure the victory.
