VIDEO: Jose Ramirez Launches 20th Homer of the Season off Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka
By Kevin Aquino
Jose Ramirez's third home run in the past two days came off a Masahiro Tanaka pitch to put the Indians on the board against the Yankees. It's safe to say the Tribe's star infielder has found his groove, and he's helped the Indians claw back against the Yankees early on.
Since July 4th, José Ramírez has driven in 43 runs, which is the most in baseball.

Ramirez missed out on being an All-Star for the first time since 2016 this year, and looks to be taking frustrations out on the ball in the second half. The Dominican Republic native finished third in MVP voting in back-to-back years, and has followed it up with a hot streak since July 4.
JoRam is up to 20 home runs on the year now and has driven in 74 runs as well.
