A battle against one of the majors’ best sluggers didn't go Framber Valdez’s way, but...
Valdez retired the next eight Guardians after Ramirez launched a solo home run to finish a legendary first-inning at-bat. Only six other Cleveland batters reached against him across seven innings of three-run ball. The outing raised Valdez's ERA to 2.83. Only 21 qualified starters entered Tuesday with a lower one. Valdez has a 2.10 ERA in his past six starts and a 1.10 WHIP.. “His endurance is up.
He needed 45 to finish the next four. Valdez generated 12 groundball outs and kept his two-seamer down in the strike zone. He tossed a season-high 106 pitches, a minor miracle after Ramirez’s remarkable first-inning tenacity. Few would blame Valdez for losing it. His first-inning struggle with Ramirez is the type of at-bat that melts a weaker mind. Ramirez is a three-time Silver Slugger and one of the sport’s most underappreciated superstars. Valdez deserved credit for not cowering in a marvelous display. He executed 10 strikes. Ramirez spoiled nine of them foul — six straight in an 0-2 count.
