The Cleveland Guardians defeat the Cincinnati Reds 6-1 on Wednesday, closing out the season series between the in-state rivals. Kyle Manzardo hits a home run and drives in two runs for Cleveland. On the pitching side, Joey Cantillo turns in four scoreless innings, allowing four hits while walking one batter and striking out eight. The win gives the Guardians control of the matchup, as they take two of the three games played at Progressive Field in May and finish the full-season head-to-head series successfully. According to reports, the Guardians earn the “Ohio Cup,” an award given to the winner of the season series. Cleveland’s offensive production and Cantillo’s run-prevention during his early start help create separation from Cincinnati, which manages only a limited scoring total. The teams previously split the series in their May meeting at Progressive Field, but Cleveland’s performance across the full season determines the overall result.
