The Cleveland Guardians beat the Boston Red Sox with a 15-hit and 10-run offensive explosion.
The Cleveland Guardians may have finally found their groove on offense. I know there's been a couple of occasions we've said that this season, but this may actually be what we've all been waiting for.
Jose Ramirez was easily the story of the night as Cleveland clinched a series victory over the Boston Red Sox with his three home runs. However, the rest of the offense also had it going too.
Every player who started recorded at least one hit in the game. Ramirez, Josh Naylor, Andres Gimenez, Will Brennan, and Cam Gallagher all had themselves multi-hit nights too.
The sixth inning really showed what the offense is capable of.
The Guardians' bats exploded with long-time Cleveland ace Corey Kluber on the mound. They rallied for six runs in the inning, which was of course started by a Jose homer. The offense also put together eight consecutive hits off Kluber demonstrating how locked in they were.
Just a few weeks ago, it was impossible to picture this offense scoring 10 runs in a game on 15 hits. But something has clicked and the Guardians now have one of the hottest bats in all of baseball.
Naylor, who's on an eight-game hitting streak himself, after the game said, "I don't think we pay attention to the standing as much. We show up every day and try to grind and try to win a ball game every night ... We try to play hard for each other, the coaching staff, and the fans."
Josh may not be looking at the standing, but I took a peak. Cleveland sits just 1.5 games back of the Minnesota Twins as their rotation gets healthy and the bats figure it out.
Watch out for the Guardians!
