Starting pitcher Daniel Espino pitched well enough to help the Cleveland Guardians beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-5. The Pirates, now 66-69, have lost 4 straight.

Jose Ramirez was vital part of the Cleveland win. He was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. In the bottom of the fifth with one out, Ramirez hit a bases-clearing double. It made the score 9-0, in favor of the Guardians.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Espino.
