Ramirez’s bat awakens with 3 hits in Gm. 1 win

CLEVELAND — After going 1-for-17 in the American League Championship Series, Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez had to wonder what it would take to get a hit.

In the first inning of Game 1 of the World Series, he found out: Not much. With the bases loaded and two outs, Ramirez hit a dribbler down the third-base line off Cubs starter Jon Lester to push across the first run of Cleveland’s 6-0 victory over the Cubs.

“This is a game, and anything good can happen, and anything bad can happen,” Ramirez said through a translator. “I just give thanks to God that the good thing happened. Of course I was happy. I got a hit, we scored a run, and you should know me … I’m always happy when I get a hit like that.”
