ARLINGTON, Texas\u00a0 \u2014 Tanner Bibee got his first win of the season in his 14th start, allowing three hits over eight innings to lead the Cleveland Guardians over the Texas Rangers 6-0 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
A 27-year-old right-hander, Bibee (1-7) had been winless in a franchise-record 13 regular-season starts since beating Detroit last Sept. 24.<\/p>\n
He needed 87 pitches to get through eight innings, striking out three and walking two. Bibee has received one or zero runs of support in 10 previous starts this year.<\/p>\n
Tim Herrin pitched a hitless ninth to finish Cleveland’s third shutout, all on the road. Texas was blanked for the fifth time \u2014 and fourth in the Rangers’ last 24 games.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez and Brayan Rocchio homered for the Guardians.<\/p>\n
Jack Leiter (3-5) allowed five runs, matching his season high, and six hits in 4 2\/3 innings with a season-low two strikeouts. Texas (31-33) has not been at .500 since it was 16-16 after play on May 1.<\/p>\n
Ram\u00edrez led off the fourth with a drive into the home bullpen beyond right field and Rocchio, Cleveland\u2019s No. 9 hitter, homered off the right-field foul pole in a four-run fifth. He matched a career high with five home runs this year.<\/p>\n
Chase DeLauter, Kyle Manzardo and Daniel Schneemann added two-out RBI hits in the fifth.<\/p>\n
Rangers reliever Luis Curvelo left the eighth after his second batter, Patrick Bailey, hit a 107.7 mph liner off the pitcher’s right thigh.<\/p>\n
