HOUSTON — Baseball fans know what an intentional walk is. For a refresher, just look at what happens when Jose Ramirez comes to the plate in a game-deciding situation. He’s waved to first base on a free pass. Pitchers don’t even have to throw four pitches off the plate anymore.

The team says Ramírez will instead 'focus on recovery and preparation for the second half of the season.' The 32-year-old has dealt with several nagging injuries.

Victor Caratini's two-out homer in the bottom of the inning drew the Astros within a run, but they got no closer. David Fry added a two-out solo homer off Kaleb Ort in the ninth for the final margin.

An inability to score runs has caused the Cleveland Guardians to fall rapidly in the American League Central standings.

The Guardians were one strike away from a huge win against Tarik Skubal and the Tigers. Then it fell apart in stunning fashion.

Cleveland appeared poised to snap their skid when Steven Kwan’s RBI double in the eighth broke a scoreless tie. The rally began with Austin Hedges’ single that snapped an 0-for-10 slump, followed by a walk to Brayan Rocchio. Kwan, aiming for his third hit of the afternoon, then drove in pinch runner Daniel Schneemann with a double into the corner.

MLB.com released its updated Top-100 prospects list, and a trio of Cleveland's young players appeared, and two of them were featured in the ranking's highest risers. The players featured in their rankings are Travis Bazzana (No. 16), Chase DeLauter (No. 35), Angel Genao (No. 72), C.J. Kayfus (No. 75), and Jaison Chourio (No. 72).
