Sporting News on MSNGuardians' ace helps Cleveland improve playoff chances
Gavin Williams turned in 5.1 innings of scoreless baseball, and the Guardians' bullpen gave up just one run. Williams has become the clear-cut ace of the Guardians this season, and he can put the team on his back every fifth day down the stretch. Just 38 games remain in the season.
The Guardians have been one of MLB’s hottest teams over the last few weeks, primarily because of the offense. Cleveland had a team slash line of 251/.326/.421 from the All-Star Break heading into their series against the Braves.
The Guardians provided a progress report on many prospects, including Travis Bazzana and Chase DeLauter, who has resumed baseball activity amid rehab.

José Ramírez sets Cleveland record with 27th multihomer game, leads Guardians to 4-3 victory
José Ramírez knew when he was 15 years old and growing up in the Dominican Republic that he could end up being a pretty good home-run hitter.
José Ramírez became Cleveland's leader in multihome run games with a drive to right field in the eighth inning as the Guardians defeated the Miami Marlins 4-3.
Ramírez surpassed Cleveland legends Albert Belle and Jim Thome, who each had 26 multi-homer games while playing for Cleveland. His record-breaking performance included a first-inning solo shot off Marlins starter Janson Junk and a decisive eighth-inning blast against reliever Calvin Faucher that broke a 3-3 tie.
