Adell Homers, Bibee Gets 1st Win in a Month as Guardians Beat the Rockies 4-3
Jo Adell hit his 20th homer and Tanner Bibee earned his first win since July 20 as Cleveland moved into a tie for the final AL wild-card spot.
On Saturday night in Denver, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Colorado Rockies 4-3, powered by Jo Adell's 450-foot home run and six solid innings from starting pitcher Tanner Bibee.
The Guardians extended their winning streak to three games, while the Rockies continued an eight-game home losing slide dating back to Tampa Bay's three-game sweep three weeks ago.
Jose Ramirez collected his 1,752nd career hit, moving into fifth place on the franchise list, while Bibee secured his first win since July 20, marking his 17th quality start of the season.
Cleveland's victory, combined with a Texas Rangers loss, tied the Guardians for the final American League wild-card berth, with closer Cade Smith recording his 33rd save.
