Game Updates
The Cleveland Guardians snatched a dramatic 5-4 walk-off victory from the Minnesota Twins on Saturday afternoon, riding a clutch performance from José Ramírez and a late bullpen shutdown. Ramírez delivered the decisive blow with a two-run homer in the third inning, finishing 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored, while Daniel Schneemann sparked the offense with a 3-for-4 day, including a solo shot. The Guardians' bullpen—led by Erik Sabrowski's 1.2 scoreless innings and Nic Enright's critical strikeouts—silenced Minnesota's late threats after Tanner Bibee's shaky 4.2-inning start allowed four runs.
Minnesota fought back behind Matt Wallner's two-RBI homer and Trevor Larnach's multi-hit effort, but their rally fell short as Cleveland's relievers struck out eight over the final 4.1 frames. The win keeps the Guardians' postseason hopes alive, while the Twins—despite six hits and a gritty performance from Bailey Ober (five innings, four runs)—leave Cleveland with missed opportunities in a tight division race.
