San Francisco Giants vs. Cleveland Guardians

The Guardians hadn’t won a series at Progressive Field since June 26-28 against Seattle. They are 11-20 overall since the All-Star break.

Williams (12-7) fell one strikeout short of his career high, but moved into a tie for the AL lead in the category with Toronto's Dylan Cease at 201. Cade Smith worked a scoreless ninth for his 32nd save in 37 opportunities as Cleveland won two of three in the interleague set.

Ramírez's single was the 1,751st hit of his career, tying Charlie Jamieson for fifth place in franchise history. Former Giants catcher Patrick Bailey and Nathaniel Lowe also drove in runs in the inning against Landen Roupp (7-13), who lost his fifth straight start.

Willy Adames hit a two-run homer in the fourth — the 200th of his career — to pull San Francisco within 3-2. It also was Adames' 20th of the year, making him the sixth shortstop in MLB history to have six straight 20-homer seasons.

Steven Kwan and Brayan Rocchio added RBI singles in the sixth and eighth, respectively, for the Guardians.

The Giants dropped their eighth consecutive road series and matched their low-water mark of 23 games below .500.

Cleveland outfielders Jo Adell (left kneecap bruise) and Chase DeLauter (left hamstring strain) were not in the lineup, but Adell went 0-for-2 after entering as the designated hitter in the sixth.

Up next Giants: RHP Logan Webb (8-7, 3.50 ERA) starts Friday at Boston.

Guardians: LHP Joey Cantillo (9-7, 3.80 ERA) pitches Friday at Colorado.
