Thursday night in Cleveland had everything: late-inning drama, pouring rain, and a record-setting performance. Jose Ramirez delivered the kind of clutch performance that gets talked about for decades. In the 10th inning, he singled home the tying run, swiped second for his 250th career steal, and scored the winner on Angel Martinez’s single to beat the Minnesota Twins 4-3.
This wasn’t just another walk-off—Ramirez etched his name in history books. With 250 home runs and now 250 stolen bases, he becomes the first-ever primary third baseman in MLB history to achieve this feat. Even more impressive? He’s the first to do it wearing a Cleveland uniform.
This was no smooth-sailing game either—two rain delays totaling 2 hours and 23 minutes tested both teams’ focus. Yet when it mattered most, Cleveland came through.
