Guardians 9, Yankees 4: Ramírez Doubles Three Times in Go-Ahead Rally

The lead

June 2, 2026 - Bronx - Jose Ramírez doubled in three straight at-bats and drove in the go-ahead run, and the Cleveland Guardians pulled away for a 9-4 win over the New York Yankees, per the Associated Press recap on FOX Sports.

Ramírez entered 8-for-45 but doubled in the fourth, fifth, and seventh. New York played without Aaron Judge, sidelined with a bone bruise near his right shoulder.

How the game turned

Kyle Manzardo homered in the fourth for a 3-2 Cleveland lead. Paul Goldschmidt answered with a two-run single in the bottom half for a 4-3 Yankees edge.

The Guardians loaded the bases in the fifth on an Amed Rosario error and a Brayan Rocchio hit-by-pitch. After Travis Bazzana's sacrifice fly tied it, Ramírez laced a double over leaping Ben Rice down the right-field line for 5-4.

Ramírez doubled again in the seventh to score Rocchio. Bazzana's three-run double off Camilo Doval in the eighth made it 9-4—Cleveland's most runs since May 17.

Pitching and matchup notes

Cam Schlittler (7-3) allowed four runs on five hits in 4⅓ innings. Colin Holderman (4-1) earned the win in relief. Five Cleveland relievers followed the starter.

Goldschmidt homered and knocked in all four Yankees runs. Gerrit Cole was scheduled for Wednesday—not Tuesday's starter.

Bats that changed the board

Ramírez's 9 hitting FP led AthX Engine on the night. It was the fifth three-double game of his career and first since August 2024. Bazzana finished with four RBIs on the eighth-inning double.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

AthX Engine graded Cleveland at 17 team FP with spread production from Ramírez, Manzardo, and Bazzana. Judge's absence did not stop New York from scoring four, but the Guardians' 12 hits carried the daily ledger—distinct from dynamic pricing.

What comes next

Gavin Williams (8-3) opposes Gerrit Cole (1-0) on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, per AP.
