The Guardians still don’t know what they’re doing with Kyle Manzardo

On Monday, Kyle Manzardo found his swing again.

After entering play hitting just .211 across 11 games in July, Manzardo wasted no time making his presence felt against the Orioles. After smacking a double to right field in his first at-bat, he staked the Guardians to a lead for good in the sixth inning with a go-ahead solo home run.

An inning later, his spot in the batting order came up again with the bases loaded and no one out… and he was promptly pulled for David Fry because there was a left-hander on the mound.
