The 36-year-old outfielder is ready to call it a career after 12 seasons in the big leagues. Overall, Calhoun hit .242/.315/.417 with 179 homers, 582 RBI and 34 stolen bases in 4988 plate appearances between the Angels, Diamondbacks, Rangers and Guardians. He slugged a career-best 33 homers for the Angels in 2019 and picked up a Gold Glove award in 2015. Best of luck of Calhoun in the next chapter of his life.

The 35-year-old outfielder belted a 426-foot solo shot off of Kenny Rosenberg in the second inning, tying the score at 1-1. That would wind up being the Guardians’ lone tally in the ballgame. Calhoun also singled in the game, finishing the afternoon 2-for-4. On the season, he’s slashing .241/.325/.398 with four homers and 17 RBI in 123 plate appearances.

Calhoun put the Guardians ahead for good in the 10th inning with a three-run blast off Twins rookie reliever Kody Funderburk. It was his third long ball of the season and came at an opportune time for Cleveland in an extra-inning marathon.

The Guardians had two homers tonight, and both landed in pretty much the same spot down the right field line. Oscar Gonzalez’s solo homer in the fourth was projected at 346 feet, while Calhoun’s fly in the seventh came in at 350. Calhoun has hit .306 with two homers through 13 games with the Guardians. There’s little reason to think he’ll keep it up, but he’ll get plenty of playing time against righties until he begins to slump.
