Jose Ramirez and the Cleveland Guardians traveled to Dodger Stadium for a highly anticipated three-game series against Freddie Freeman and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw got the start for the Dodgers and went five innings, allowing for just a deserved no-decision run.
Zach Plesac got the start for the Guardians and went six innings, which also allowed for a deserved run. The Guardians won 2-1, improving their record to 33-27 and maintaining their 0.5-game lead over the Boston Red Sox for the final American League wildcard.
The game was rather uneventful and goalless, but one moment stole the show. Jose Ramirez was in the Guardians dugout and hilariously told Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman that he’s one of the best hitters in the game, right behind him.

This is what makes the game of baseball the best. Freeman and Ramirez are great for the game and will only make the game grow with moments like this.
