Arias has 3-run double, Ramírez steals 3 bases as Guardians blank Brewers 5-0

CLEVELAND (AP) — Gabriel Arias had a three-run double in the fourth inning, José Ramírez stole three bases and five Cleveland pitchers combined on a shutout as the Guardians beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-0 on Monday night.

Arias hit a deep fly ball to center field with two outs and the bases loaded off starter Freddy Peralta (4-3). Milwaukee's Jackson Chourio got a bad read on the ball and he missed it by a couple inches as it dropped over his left shoulder, scoring three runs.

Prior to Arias' hit, Ramírez stole second and third base. He stole third in the sixth inning, giving him 255 in his career to move past Terry Turner for third on the franchise's all-time list.

It is the third time in Ramírez's career and first since 2021 he has had three stolen bases in a game.

Cleveland starter Ben Lively went three innings before leaving after a couple warm up pitches in the fourth due to right forearm inflammation. Jakob Junis, Kolby Allard, Cade Smith and Hunter Gaddis went the rest of the way for the Guardians' fifth shutout of the season.

Kyle Manzardo and Carlos Santana also had RBIs for Cleveland.

Milwaukee had the bases loaded with two outs in the fourth inning, but Junis got Caleb Durbin to hit into a fielder's choice to end the frame.

Peralta struck out four, giving him 1,001 for his career. He is the fourth Milwaukee pitcher to reach 1,000 strikeouts, joining Yovani Gallardo, Ben Sheets and Teddy Higuera.

Milwaukee sends right-hander Quinn Priester (1-1, 5.08 ERA) to the mound. Cleveland will go with left-hander Logan Allen (1-2, 4.33 ERA).

PARIS (AP) — A Paris court is to rule on Monday in a case involving 10 people accused of cyberbullying French first lady Brigitte Macron by spreading false online claims about her gender and sexuality, allegations her daughter said damaged her health and family life.

The defendants, eight men and two women aged 41 to 60, are accused of posting “numerous malicious comments” falsely claiming that President Emmanuel Macron ’s wife was born a man and linking the 24-year age gap with her husband to pedophilia. Some of the posts were viewed tens of thousands of times.

Brigitte Macron did not attend the two-day trial in October.

Her daughter, Tiphaine Auzière, testified about what she described as the “deterioration” of her mother’s life since the online harassment intensified. “She cannot ignore the horrible things said about her,” Auzière told the court. She said the impact has extended to the entire family, including Macron’s grandchildren.

Defendant Delphine Jegousse, 51, who is known as Amandine Roy and describes herself as a medium and an author, is considered as having played a major role in spreading the rumor after she released a four-hour video on her YouTube channel in 2021.

The X account of Aurélien Poirson-Atlan, 41, known as Zoé Sagan on social media, was suspended in 2024 after his name was cited in several judicial investigations.

Other defendants include an elected official, a teacher and a computer scientist. Several told the court their comments were intended as humor or satire and said they did not understand why they were being prosecuted. They face up to two years in prison if convicted.

The case follows years of conspiracy theories falsely alleging that Brigitte Macron was born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, which is actually the name of her brother. The Macrons have also filed a defamation suit in the United States against conservative influencer Candace Owens.

The Macrons, who have been married since 2007, first met at the high school where he was a student and she was a teacher. Brigitte Macron, 24 years her husband’s senior, was then called Brigitte Auzière, a married mother of three.

Emmanuel Macron, 48, has been France’s president since 2017.
