Ramírez's 3-run homer sparks Guardians' 10-5 win over Orioles

CLEVELAND — José Ramírez had a three-run homer in the first inning, Brayan Rocchio delivered a two-run single in the seventh and the Cleveland Guardians pulled away for a 10-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. Ramón Laureano gave the Orioles a 5-3 lead in the third with a two-run homer, but Cleveland followed with seven unanswered runs to win for the ninth time in 11 games. Kyle Manzardo put the Guardians in front 6-5 with a solo homer in the sixth off Colin Selby (0-1), one inning after Bo Naylor tied the game with a solo shot. Cleveland scored four runs in the seventh, two of them on bases-loaded walks by Grant Wolfram with two outs. The Guardians left a season-high 15 on base and were 3 of 20 with runners in scoring position. Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee (6-9) worked seven innings, allowing five runs — three earned — and six hits. The right-hander won his second straight after going eight starts between victories from May 27 to July 7.
