  Athletics 5 3 on Friday night and moved one game ahead of

  Chicago in the AL Central. Ramirez connected in the sixth inning to

  give the Guardians a two run cushion. His twelfth homer was also

  the seven time All Stars one thousandth RBI, making him just the

  second Cleveland player to reach the plateau. Earl Averill drove in one

  in the first. Cleveland, eighteen nine since august twentieth, came in tied

  his fifteenth homer, a four hundred eleven foot leadoff drive to center

  off Scott Blewitt, two one. The Guardians had squandered early scoring chances,

  loading the bases in the first two innings, but failing to push

  a run across. Cleveland finally strung some hits together in the fourth,
• 1:55
  scoring three times off starter Mason Barnett to tie it. Rocchio, who

  leads all MLB: No. 9 hitters in RBI with 50, delivered a

  two-run double and scored on Ramirez's two out single. Espino opened for

  Cleveland and started poorly. The right hander walked three in the first
