José Ramírez was just named the AL Player of the Week for the ninth time in his career.
Final: Guardians 8, Orioles 4
Cleveland moves to 13-10 and secures the series.
Brayan Rocchio was asked Saturday about what's made him comfortable hitting in the No. 9 spot.
"That's my home. When I got called up my first time, that's the part of the lineup I hit most of the time. I feel really comfortable there."
He's 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs there today.
José Ramírez just sent a baseball 408 feet. His 137th career home run at home, tying him with Earl Averill for second most in franchise history.
Jim Thome (184) ranks first.
Final: Guardians 4, Orioles 2
Williams struck out 11 over seven innings, Rocchio and Naylor each went deep, and Smith struck out the side in the ninth to end it.
Bo, big fly.
Solo shot, his first home run of the year. Big insurance run for the Guardians in the eighth inning. It's 4-2.
Rocchril?
Brayan Rocchio three-run homer puts the Guardians ahead 3-1 in the fifth. Cleveland was being no-hit by Dean Kremer entering the inning.
Super Schnee. Grand slam.
4-0 Guardians.
Bibee goes 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 5 K
Super Schnee
Parker Messick issued his first hit tonight to lead off the ninth inning, on a ground ball single by Leody Taveras through the right side. Messick then got a big hand from the Progressive Field crowd.

José Ramírez just broke a tie with Omar Vizquel for seventh in franchise history for the most multi-hit games (464). Lou Boudreau (475) is sixth.
This was a pretty nifty slide by Brayan Rocchio to evade Samuel Basallo's tag. Safe call stands after the Orioles challenged. It's an RBI single for Steven Kwan.
Steven Kwan entered today with +2 Outs Above Average in center field this season. Nice play here on a deep drive by Taylor Ward.
my point is there's no world where they would demote him after a hiccup or two one week into his big league career. that's not me being disingenuous, that's just a fact.
Home run #289 for José Ramírez is a 2-run shot in the first inning. 2-0 Cleveland.
Sending a guy back down for making one error would be extremely reactionary, even if he isn’t known for his glove.
