Jose Ramirez was voted as the starter for the AL at third base, but he'll instead sit out the All-Star Game to focus on rest and recovery.

Nothing was more torturous than the 11-gamer that you, Mr. Acta, had a front-row seat for in 2012. It cemented your dismissal, despite a public vote of confidence from Paul Dolan. On July 27, that team was 50-49 and hanging around in the AL Central race. On Sept. 1, the club was 55-77. That’s hard to do.

José Ramírez homered for a third straight game, Angel Martínez also went deep and the Cleveland Guardians got a 4-2 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep.

And, entering play Tuesday, Padres first baseman Luis Arraez had struck out nine times this season. Nine. It's not like he's missed time with injury either. Arraez has played in 84 of San Diego's 90 games.

Jose Ramirez kept his streak going when he crushed another home run to extend the Guardians' lead over the Astros.

For comparison, Cleveland Guardians superstar Jose Ramirez has an .878 OPS. In some of the more traditional stats, Chisholm is hitting .251 with 17 homers. He also has 10 steals. Through July 9, Chisholm has a six-game hit streak. In that span, he is 8-for-23 with three home runs, including his two bombs from Wednesday night.

One of the best sluggers of the 1990s, he spent 12 years in the big leagues with the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles. A five-time All-Star, he helped Cleveland get to the 1995 World Series.
