CLEVELAND (AP) — José Ramírez homered for the first time in July and drove in two runs as the Cleveland Guardians ended their three-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night. Ramírez connected in the fifth inning off Joey Wentz (0-2) to help the AL Central-leading Guardians get just their third win in 10 games. Ramírez added an RBI single in the sixth. Cleveland’s 60-40 record through 100 games is the club’s best mark over the span since the 1999 team also went 60-40. The Guardians are the only AL team this season not to lose four in a row. Ramírez’s first homer since June 29 put Cleveland up 3-2 in the fifth.
