Andrés Giménez’s late blast propels Cleveland Guardians to 7-3 win against Kansas City

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Guardians needed a big hit late on Monday, and Andrés Giménez delivered.

Guardians manager Terry Francona said whereas last season Giménez would let bad at-bats early in a game multiply, the 23-year-old infielder has been able to make adjustments on the fly. He became the second-fastest Cleveland hitter to reach the 50-RBI threshold behind Manny Ramirez’s 38 games in 1999. Manny Ramirez had 57 RBI through his first 44 games that year and went on to set the club single-season record. Francona said Ramírez was locked in from the first pitch he saw.

The Guardians’ Zach Plesac rebounded from a rough outing in Houston to post his third quality start, allowing just one earned run in six innings with five strikeouts and no walks. He surrendered a leadoff home run to Emmanuel Rivera in the second, but settled in after that, retiring nine of the next 11 batters he faced.

Gonzalez, who made his major league debut last week in Detroit, turned in a nice running catch on a drive into the corner by Salvador Perez. Gonzalez snagged the ball before slamming up against the wall for the second out of the inning.
