Ramirez Excels, But Rangers Win
The Texas Rangers had to overcome a big game from Cleveland third baseman Jose Ramirez to leave Progressive Field with a victory. And they did, winning 9-4. Ramirez hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Jacob deGrom picked up the win, improving his season record to 9-8. He struck out 11 in 7 innings. The win elevated the Rangers to 77-62.

Texas relied on the hitting of Josh Smith to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rangers on top, 4-3. For the game, Smith had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Smith told the Texas Today.
