CLEVELAND — Jose Ramirez and a struggling Guardians offense look to rebound from June 9's loss against the Cincinnati Reds June 10 at Progressive Field. Slade Cecconi (1-2, 4.87 ERA) is set to take the mound for the Guardians opposite Andrew Abbott (5-1, 2.18 ERA).

Reds pitcher Wade Miley's name surfaced as a potential drug provider to Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who died in 2019 after an overdose.

"It's a good check to see where we're at. It's gonna show what areas we need to work on, what areas we excel at," Nick Martinez said.

The Guardians scored more than five runs for the first time in the month of June and Carlos Santana won somebody a new car with a grand slam.

After getting shut out 1-0 by Cincinnati on Tuesday, Cleveland responded with 13 hits in an 11-2 win over the Reds Wednesday afternoon at Progressive Field. Cincinnati still took 2 of 3 in the series.

Carlos Santana has twice helped the Guardians and local auto dealers give away vehicles by hitting grand slams in his career.

The Reds hadn’t won the Ohio Cup outright since 2014, when Francona was in his second season managing Cleveland. The Reds won five of their six meetings against the Guardians, falling 11-2 in Wednesday’s series finale.

Carlos Santana slugged his sixth career grand slam and the Cleveland Guardians beat Cincinnati 11-2 on Wednesday, snapping the Reds’ five-game win streak and denying manager Terry Francona a season sweep of his former team.
