Guardians Sweep Rockies Behind Manzardo, Allard Dominance

The Cleveland Guardians secured a 5-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies, highlighted by David Fry's two-run homer and Kolby Allard's strong pitching performance, where he struck out five batters in just over three innings while allowing only one hit. José Ramírez contributed with two hits, including a milestone double that moved him to seventh on the Guardians' all-time hit list, and showed composure amid ongoing trade rumors. Kyle Manzardo, despite not starting in the 5-0 game, has been a key offensive player for the Guardians, recently achieving a career-high eight-game hitting streak and recording multiple home runs, including a two-homer game in the previous 10-4 win over the Rockies. Manzardo's recent hot streak features a .357 batting average with five homers and 13 RBIs in his last 12 games, reflecting his growing importance in the Guardians' lineup. The team's recent performances, including a solid outing by pitcher Logan Allen, have kept them competitive in the American League wild-card race as they approach the MLB trade deadline. Overall, the Guardians have shown resilience and balanced contributions on offense and pitching as they prepare for upcoming series.
