CLEVELAND - Angel Ramirez hit the first leadoff home run of his career on Wednesday, May 13.
The Cleveland Guardians switch-hitting center fielder greeted Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers with a no-doubt shot to left field off a 2-1 pitch.

It was the second leadoff home run of the season for the Guardians and the second tater in as many days for Martinez, who homered from the left side of the plate Tuesday against the Angels before his righty solo shot to lead off Wednesday's game.
The home run had a 26 degree launch angle and was the seventh of the season for switch-hitter. It's 2-0 after one inning.
