Jose Ramirez had a two-run double and solo homer as the visiting Cleveland Guardians rolled past the slumping Detroit Tigers, 8-2, on Monday.
Chase DeLauter and Rhys Hoskins drove in two runs apiece, while Brayan Rocchio scored three times.
Cleveland starter Slade Cecconi (3-4) held the Tigers to two runs and four hits in 7 1/3 innings. The Guardians have won six of their last seven games.
Detroit starter Framber Valdez (2-3) gave up four runs and five hits in five innings. He walked four and struck out three. Valdez had won all five of his previous career outings against the Guardians.
The Tigers are 2-11 over their last 13 games.
Riley Greene had two hits, including an RBI double, for Detroit. Matt Vierling added a solo homer.
The game was delayed 43 minutes by inclement weather.
Detroit took a 1-0 lead in the first. Greene, who had an 11-game hitting streak snapped on Sunday, blasted a Cecconi fastball off the right-center field wall to knock in Dillon Dingler. The two-out hit followed Kevin McGonigle's single and Dingler's fielder's choice grounder.
Cleveland grabbed a 2-1 lead in the third. Brayan Rocchio led off with a triple to right-center. One out later, Jose Ramirez walked and DeLauter hit into a fielder's choice as Rocchio scored. DeLauter scored from first on Hoskins' double to left-center.
The Guardians increased their lead to 4-1 in the fifth. Rocchio drew a leadoff walk and Angel Martinez and Ramirez followed with singles to load the bases.
DeLauter's once again drove in a run on a fielder's choice. Hoskins knocked in Martinez with a sacrifice fly.
Cleveland made it 7-1 in the sixth. Travis Bazzana led off with a single. A walk to Steven Kwan and another to Rocchio loaded the bases with one out. Martinez drove in Bazzana with a single and Ramirez ripped a double to send home two more runs.
Vierling hit his fourth homer while leading off the eighth. Ramirez led off the ninth with his eighth homer.
