CLEVELAND — José Ramírez homered during a three-run fourth inning, Gavin Williams allowed only one hit in 6 2/3 innings and the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 Sunday.

Ramírez extended Cleveland’s lead to 2-0 when he connected on a slider from Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz (3-7) and put it into the stands in right-center for his team-leading 11th homer to lead off the fourth.
