DETROIT >> José Ramírez homered twice to give him 26 this season and had an RBI double, providing plenty of offense for Tanner Bibee and the Cleveland Guardians in an 8-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.

Ramirez’s second homer was No. 240 of his career, tying him with Albert Belle for second in Cleveland history behind Jim Thome’s 337. He has 25 multihomer games, one shy of the totals of Thome and Belle.

Bibee (9-4) kept the Tigers scoreless until they opened the seventh inning with three straight hits, including Dillon Dingler’s RBI double in his major league debut. That chased Bibee, who gave up two runs on seven hits in six-plus innings.

ORIOLES 11, JAYS 5, Game 1

JAYS 8, ORIOLES 4, GAME 2 >> Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered in both games of a doubleheader, including a solo shot in the nightcap that helped Toronto earn a split with an 8-4 victory over Baltimore.

Guerrero went 7 for 10 in the doubleheader with five RBIs. In Game 2, he had a homer, three doubles and three RBIs.

In the opener, Zach Eflin turned in a gritty pitching performance in his Orioles debut, Anthony Santander hit his 30th home run and Baltimore cruised to an 11-5 victory.

REDS 7, CUBS 1 >> Carson Spiers allowed one hit in five scoreless innings in his return from the injured list, and Cincinnati homered three times in a victory over the Chicago Cubs.Cubs reliever Nate Pearson and manager Craig Counsell were ejected in the eighth inning after Pearson hit Tyler Stephenson in the helmet, one pitch after he allowed a homer to Jeimer Candelario.

Pearson was ejected following a discussion by the umpires, and Counsell was tossed after he came out to argue.
