Ramírez steals 300th career base, Fry and Manzardo homer as Guardians rally past Athletics 14-6

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — José Ramírez stole his 300th career base, David Fry and Kyle Manzardo both hit home runs and the Cleveland Guardians used a four-run fifth inning to rally past the Athletics 14-6 on Saturday.

Ramírez hit a two-run double in the fifth that gave the Guardians their first lead at 4-3 before he stole third base. He became the second player in franchise history with 300 or more stolen bases, joining Kenny Lofton. Ramírez also joined Starling Marte, Jose Altuve and Trea Turner as the only active players to reach the mark.

Shea Langeliers hit two homers for the Athletics, a two-run shot in the first and a solo blast in the fifth.

Nick Kurtz was 2 for 5, but had his streak of consecutive games with a walk end at 20, tied for the second-longest in MLB history.

After Rhys Hopkins scored Ramírez on a sacrifice fly to put the Guardians up 5-3 in the fifth, Fry added his second homer of the season in the sixth. Rookie Travis Bazzana got his first major league hit and RBI on a two-run single in the seventh and immediately stole his first base.

Manzardo added insurance in the top of the eighth with a three-run homer. Brayan Rocchio and Steven Kwan had RBIs in the ninth to cap Cleveland's win.

Austin Hedges hit his first homer of the season in the third for the Guardians.

Slade Cecconi (1-4) earned the win despite allowing five runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Jacob Lopez (2-2) gave up six runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings for the Athletics.

The win was the highest-scoring game for Cleveland since it also scored 14 runs on June 28, 2023, against Kansas City.

LHP Parker Messick (3-0, 1.73 ERA) takes the mound for the Guardians against RHP Aaron Civale (2-1, 3.23 ERA) in the series finale Sunday.

MIAMI (AP) — Max Meyer and two Miami relievers combined on a one-hitter, Xavier Edwards homered and the Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-0 on Saturday.

Meyer (2-0) struck out seven in a career-high seven innings. He gave up a single to Garrett Stubbs in the third and walked Alec Bohm in the fifth for the only baserunners he allowed. His outing ended after 83 pitches.

Anthony Bender and Andrew Nardi each pitched a perfect inning to help snap the Phillies' four-game winning streak under interim manager Don Mattingly.

Edwards also singled for the Marlins and Otto López and Connor Norby each had two hits and drove in a run.

Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber has struck out in each of his nine plate appearances in the first two games of the series. For Schwarber, who fanned four times Saturday, the strikeout skid at loanDepot Park is at 11 games, including his last two at-bats against Venezuela in the final of the World Baseball Classic on March 17.

Philadelphia catcher J.T. Realmuto went 0 for 3 in his return from the injured list. He was sidelined since April 22 because of back spasms.

Consecutive walks to Agustín Ramírez and Norby by Phillies starter Andrew Painter (1-3) with the bases loaded in the third put Miami ahead 2-0.

Edwards made it 3-0 with his solo blast in the fifth, sending a fastball from Painter over the wall in right for his second homer of the season.

Painter allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out seven.

Tanner Banks relieved Painter in the sixth and allowed López’s RBI infield single. Esteury Ruiz hit a leadoff double and Jakob Marsee drew a one-out walk. Both advanced on a groundout before López hit a dribbler over the mound.

Phillies outfielder Justin Crawford was in the original lineup, but was a late scratch because of migraines.

LHP Jesús Luzardo (2-3, 5.50) will start for the Phillies on Sunday against Marlins RHP Chris Paddack (0-4, 6.11).
