Jose Ramirez Ties Franchise All-Star Record

July 13, 2023

Jose Ramirez‘s double off Camilo Doval in the All-Star Game was his fifth career hit in the event, tying Kenny Lofton and Sandy Alomar Jr. for the most in franchise history.

Ramirez went 1-2 in the game, which actually dropped his career ASG batting average to .556, tied for the second highest among players with at least nine at-bats:

  • Richie Ashburn, .600 (6-10)
  • Yadier Molina, .556 (5-9)
  • Ramirez, .556 (5-9)
  • Moises Alou, .500 (5-10)
  • Charlie Gehringer, .500 (10-20)
  • Ted Kluszewski, .500 (7-14)

Former Indians Joe Carter and Leon Wagner (.455 each) are tied for 10th on the list, but neither played in an All-Star Game in a Cleveland uniform.

The next highest to represent Cleveland in the game is Alomar, who checks in at 18th with a .417 average (5-12).

Mike Zunino collected two doubles and a home run in Sunday’s win over the Mariners. It was just the 32nd time in franchise history a catcher produced three extra-base hits.

Prior to Zunino, it hadn’t been done since Carlos Santana in 2013 at Tampa Bay.

Only two catchers have ever produced more than three:

Brothers in the Lineup

October 3, 2022

Bo Naylor and Josh Naylor were each in the Guardians lineup last night for the first time.

They’re the fourth pair of brothers to appear in the same game for Cleveland joining:

Pitchers Gaylord and Jim Perry were also on the Indians during the 1974 and 1975 seasons, but never appeared in the same game.

Dave and Vean Gregg were also briefly teammates in 1913, though Dave appeared in just one game.
