Ramírez, a six-time Gold Glove Award finalist in his career, showcased his defense in the third inning by throwing out Melton on a slow infield chopper and later turning a double play by stepping on third base and firing across the diamond to nab Altuve.

David Fry hit his first home run of the season, but the Guardians ultimately fell to the Astros Friday night at Progressive Field.

After a late night in Pittsburgh and an arrival in Cleveland in the wee hours, the Houston Astros face the Guardians as Colton Gordon (0-1, 5.95) makes another start. Left-hander Logan Allen (3-3, 4.22) pitches for Cleveland.
