The double off the wall in left missed being a homer by about a foot. It would have been a homer in 17 ballparks. Still, he got a little closer to a potential 30 HR/30 SB season today. It’s the eighth time he’s stolen 20 bases in a season, and he’s currently on pace to overtake his career high of 41 steals from last season. Most important, his next steal, which will be his 264th, will tie him with Bip Roberts on the all-time list.

Ramírez drew a pair of walks before knocking a base hit to lead off the sixth and scored Cleveland’s first run on a single by Gabriel Arias. He then took Shawn Rubin deep for a two-run homer to tie the game for the Guardians fell in extra innings. The 32-year-old star third baseman is slashing .333/.390/.558 with 12 homers, 40 runs scored, 31 RBI, and 17 steals across 259 plate appearances.

The 32-year-old superstar reached on an infield single off of Fried with two outs in the first inning, took second on a pickoff error and swiped third base before being left stranded there. He also singled to lead off the seventh inning but was once again left stranded at third. On the season, Ramírez is slashing a robust .330/.384/.549 to go along with 11 homers, 29 RBI and 17 stolen bases.

Already coming off a fantasy May, Ramírez started June on the right note by crushing the ball today. In fact, his 397-foot homer was only his third hardest-hit ball, behind a 110.5-mph groundout and a 108.0-mph single. Those were his second- and eighth-hardest-hit balls of the year.
