CINCINNATI (AP) --- Kyle Manzardo homered and drove in two runs, Joey Cantillo
pitched four scoreless innings and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Cincinnati
Reds 6-1 Wednesday night to claim the season series from their in-state rivals.
The Guardians, who took two of the three games from the Reds at Progressive
Field in May, earned this year's "Ohio Cup," which is awarded to the winner of
the season's series.
Cantillo allowed four hits with a walk and eight strikeouts. He leads the
majors with a .189 opponents' average with runners in scoring position and
worked out of jams in the first, second, and fourth innings on Wednesday.
The Guardians, who had been shut out in three of the previous four games,
loaded the bases with one out in the third, but failed to score. They loaded
the bases again with no outs in the fifth and scored four runs despite having
only one hit.
Travis Bazzana singled and drove in the first run off Reds starter Brady
Singer, who issued a pair of bases-loaded walks to force in two more runs.
Caleb Ferguson replaced Singer and allowed Patrick Bailey's sacrifice fly to
make the score 4-0.
Singer (5-10) allowed four runs --- all unearned --- and six hits. He walked
four and struck out three. The Reds committed two errors on Wednesday,
including a fielding error by Elly De La Cruz which began the four-run fifth.
Erik Sabrowski (4-2) earned the victory for Cleveland.
Noelvi Marte drove home the Reds' only run with a single off Franco Aleman in
the sixth.
Manzardo's home run, his 13th of the season and second in as many games, came
off Chase Petty leading off the seventh, making the score 5-1. It was his
fourth homer against the Reds this season.
Up next
Guardians RHP Tanner Bibee (4-10, 3.89) is scheduled to start Friday against
the visiting Diamondbacks.
Reds RHP Rhett Lowder (3-7, 5.61) is scheduled to start Thursday against the
visiting Pirates.
