**Guardians’ Bats Explode in Extra Innings, Secure Thrilling Victory Over Tigers**
CLEVELAND, Ohio – In a season marked by offensive struggles, the Cleveland Guardians surprised everyone Tuesday night, including themselves, with a stunning extra-inning outburst against the Detroit Tigers. The Guardians, who entered the game with the lowest batting average in Major League Baseball, erupted for four consecutive extra-base hits in the 10th inning, propelling them to a 7-5 victory.
Steven Kwan started the rally with an RBI double, followed by a triple from Angel Martinez, a double from Jose Ramirez, and another double from Kyle Manzardo. The remarkable sequence marked only the second time in franchise history and the first time in MLB since August 7, 2001, that a team has accomplished such a feat.
“My job right there is to get the runner over,” said Kwan, emphasizing a focus on fundamentals. “I was just trying to get something (a pitch) close to me. Thankfully, it got by (first base).”
The win is crucial for the Guardians, who are chasing the Tigers in the AL Central standings.
In other Guardians news, Jose Ramirez celebrated his 33rd birthday on Wednesday. He’s known for his birthday hitting prowess, boasting a .324 career average on his birthday with several home runs.
Looking ahead, the Guardians will adjust their pitching rotation for the upcoming series against the Minnesota Twins. Parker Messick will start Friday, followed by Slade Cecconi and Logan Allen for Saturday’s day-night doubleheader, and Joey Cantillo on Sunday.
Finally, Lake County Captains’ left-hander Josh Hartle was named the Midwest League Pitcher of the Year. The Guardians acquired Hartle from Pittsburgh in December as part of the Luis Ortiz trade. Catcher Jacob Cozart and Alfonso Rosario were also named Midwest League All-Stars.
