Guardians Crush Orioles, Ramírez Homers Twice

0:00It's April 19th, MLB News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Cleveland Guardians just handled the Orioles 8-4 on Sunday, grabbing three wins out of four in the series. Jose Ramirez crushed two home runs, and Brian Rocchio went off with three hits and three RBI's to lead the charge. Ramirez powered those bombs in the fourth and fifth innings off Trevor Rogers, pushing his franchise record for multi-homer games to 28. He also climbed past Earl Averill into second place all time for Cleveland home runs at the stadium with 138. The guards exploded for four runs in the fourth on Juan Bredo's two-run double and Rocchio's RBI single, building a five-nothing lead. Meanwhile, Taylor Ward smashed his first homer as an Oriole, a three-run shot, but Baltimore's dropped five of their last six and couldn't catch up. Pitchers like Matt Festa and Rule 5 picked Peyton Palette, locked it down late with Festa escaping a base as loaded jam.
