Prior to Arias' hit, Ramírez stole second and third base. He stole third in the sixth inning, giving him 255 in his career to move past Terry Turner for third on the franchise's all-time list.
It is the third time in Ramírez's career and first since 2021 he has had three stolen bases in a game.
Cleveland starter Ben Lively went three innings before leaving after a couple warm up pitches in the fourth due to right forearm inflammation. Jakob Junis, Kolby Allard, Cade Smith and Hunter Gaddis went the rest of the way for the Guardians' fifth shutout of the season.
