Watch: Ramirez gets 2nd assisted HR of day from bumbling Tigers

Rick Osentoski / USA TODAY Sports

Don't say the Detroit Tigers never did anything for you, Jose.

After getting a little help from Tigers outfielder Mikie Mahtook for a home run in the first inning Sunday, Jose Ramirez got another boost in the top of the sixth. Outfielder Alex Presley leaped to catch a deep fly ball off the Cleveland Indians second baseman's bat, only to nudge it over the wall instead.

Ramirez's second homer of the afternoon represented his fifth extra-base hit - and according to Baseball Reference, he's only the 10th batter in baseball history to reach that mark in a single game. The most recent was Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, who hit three home runs and two doubles against the Cincinnati Reds in 2016.
