J-Ram shows off bat, baserunning and glove in win-or-go-home Game 3

José Ramírez delivered a clutch performance for the Cleveland Guardians in Game 3 of the ALDS, helping secure a win-or-go-home victory despite lingering physical limitations. The veteran third baseman drove in a key run in the fifth inning with a hard-hit double (106.5 mph exit velocity) and stole third before scoring on a Chase DeLauter ground ball.

Ramírez also contributed in the third inning with a walk and a run scored on Jo Adell’s bases-clearing triple, while his defensive highlight came in the sixth when he made a diving stop at third base on Miguel Vargas’s line drive to end a potential White Sox rally. Though Cleveland’s medical team expects Ramírez to remain at less than full strength until 2027, his impact in this high-stakes game underscored his ability to change the outcome even while managing post-surgery recovery.
