Kyle Manzardo launched a two-run homer off Schlittler (7-3) in the fourth and rookie Travis Bazzana hit a three-run double off Camilo Doval in the eighth. Bazzana and Brayan Rocchio each had a sacrifice fly for the Guardians, who totaled 12 hits and scored their most runs since May 17.
Paul Goldschmidt homered and knocked in all four runs for the Yankees, who lost for only the second time in eight games. They played without slugger Aaron Judge, who has a bone bruise in his upper right rib that is causing pain in his right shoulder.
The three-time MVP missed his first game this season. He underwent testing Monday that revealed the bruise and was consulting with a team doctor on Tuesday.
RamÃrez entered the game in an 8-for-45 skid but doubled in the fourth, fifth and seventh. His first double came two batters before Manzardo homered into the right-center seats for a 3-2 lead.
Goldschmidt's two-run single put New York ahead 4-3 in the bottom half, but the Guardians loaded the bases in the fifth after Patrick Bailey reached on an error by third baseman Amed Rosario and Rocchio was hit in the hand by a pitch. After a sacy fly by Bazzana tied it, RamÃrez laced a 2-2 curveball over leaping first baseman Ben Rice and down the right-field line for a 5-4 lead.
RamÃrez added his second RBI double to score Rocchio in the seventh. It was the fifth time in his career RamÃrez doubled three times and first since Aug. 26, 2024.
