José Ramírez hit a two-run homer - his 100th at Progressive Field - and the Cleveland Guardians followed the total solar eclipse by winning first-year manager Stephen Vogt's home debut, 4-0 over the Chicago White Sox on Monday.
It was Ramírez's 174th homer, moving him past Al Rosen for the most by a third baseman in Cleveland history. Triston McKenzie pitched 5 2/3 innings for Cleveland, off to a surprising start and its best since 2011.
Chicago wasn't much better in the field, committing three errors, two by third baseman Yoán Moncada. Cleveland scratched out a run in the third and fourth innings, leading to a 4-0 victory.
McKenzie was limited to just four starts last season due to elbow issues. The Guardians hope he stays healthy and takes a larger role with ace Shane Bieber set for Tommy John surgery.
