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.

JJ Bleday hit a solo home run in the first inning and five Cincinnati pitchers combined for the shutout as the Reds defeated the Cleveland Guardians 2-0 and split a day-night doubleheader. Kyle Manzardo hit a grand slam, Chase DeLauter scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice bunt in the eighth inning and Cleveland snapped a five-game losing streak with a 6-5 win in the opener. The Reds sealed the win in the nightcap when, with a runner aboard in the ninth, Dane Myers made a leaping grab against the center field wall on Petey Halpin’s drive for the final out, securing Emilio Pagán his 11th save. The Guardians were shut out for the ninth time this season and third time in four games.
