Cleveland Guardians vs. Atlanta Braves: Game Highlights

Chase DeLauter had an RBI double and Daniel Schneemann added a two-run single off the bench.

Messick (2-0) struck out five and walked two in 6 2/3 innings. He has an 0.51 ERA through three starts, allowing one run in 17 2/3 innings.

Atlanta, which entered 5-0 against left-handed starters, was held scoreless for the first time this season.

Erik Sabrowski struck out two in a perfect eighth and Shawn Armstrong worked the ninth to complete Cleveland's first shutout this year.

Ramírez launched a solo homer to left field on an 0-2 pitch in the first inning. He finished 2 for 4 with two stolen bases and a walk.

Rhys Hoskins had a run-scoring groundout in the sixth and DeLauter hit an RBI double over the head of right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. in the eighth that scored Schneemann with a dive at home plate.

The Guardians scored three times in the ninth on a throwing error by Braves catcher Jonah Heim and a two-run single by Schneemann.

Martín Pérez (0-1) allowed one run and two hits over five innings in his second start for Atlanta.

The Guardians got their second run in the sixth with a bases-loaded grounder from Hoskins with one out. Braves third baseman Austin Riley had a chance at a double play, but Ramírez just avoided the tag on his way to third before Riley threw out Hoskins at first as Angel Martínez scored from third.

Martínez was 2 for 5 with two runs scored.

The win snapped Cleveland's five-game losing streak to the Braves that dated to 2024.
