<\/h3>\n\n\nTampa<\/strong>.\u2014 Dominican Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez<\/strong> of the Cleveland Guardians<\/strong>. With a triple-driving<\/strong> in the sixth inning of the 2-1<\/strong> victory over the Tampa Bay Rays<\/strong>, Ram\u00edrez reached 938 RBIs<\/strong> and surpassed Hall of Famer Jim Thome<\/strong>, placing him in second place<\/strong> in the franchise since RBIs became an official statistic in 1920.\n\nYou may be interested in: MLB Summary: Rafael Devers reaches 100 RBIs; Manny Machado hits home run 23 and Otto L\u00f3pez shines with two home runs<\/a>\n\nThe hit, a solid contact down the third base line against the pitches of the left-hander Garrett Cleavinger<\/strong>, allowed his compatriot Angel Mart\u00ednez<\/strong> to score the tying run. Minutes later, a run-scoring single by the Venezuelan Gabriel Arias<\/strong> completed the comeback that secured the four-game series for Cleveland.\n\nThe only step that separates Ram\u00edrez from the historical lead in RBIs for the club is Earl Averill<\/strong>, who has 1,084 RBIs<\/strong>. At 32 years old<\/strong>, Ram\u00edrez’s offensive projection positions him to become the all-time RBI leader in franchise history<\/strong> in the next two seasons.\n\nManager Stephen Vogt<\/strong> praised the greatness of his star:\n\n\n
\n

\u201cJos\u00e9 is going to keep doing this as long as he\u2019s in Cleveland. He\u2019s one of the best players on the planet. It\u2019s a lot of fun and a gift to be able to watch him every day\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This historic triple adds to another milestone that J-Ram<\/strong> achieved on Saturday, when he recorded his 280th stolen base<\/strong> in Major League Baseball, breaking the tie with the Venezuelan Omar Vizquel<\/strong> to place second in Cleveland’s history<\/strong> in stolen bases, only behind Kenny Lofton<\/strong> (452).<\/p>\n\n\nIn the Live Ball Era<\/strong> (since 1920), Ram\u00edrez also established himself as one of the most dynamic third basemen in history<\/strong>. Among players with at least 50% of their games at third base, only Chone Figgins<\/strong> (341) has more stolen bases than him.\n\nAsked about the importance of his recent achievements, Ram\u00edrez responded:\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI think both marks \u2014walks and steals\u2014 are very important. They are part of my game: play aggressive, produce runs and find any way to help the team\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nWith this victory, the Guardians remain 2.5 games<\/strong> behind the Seattle Mariners<\/strong> in the fight for the third American League Wild Card<\/strong>, and Ram\u00edrez’s inspiration could be key in the final stretch of the season.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
