CLEVELAND — The Guardians recovered from their worse day of the season on July 28 with a 10-4 win July 29, highlighted by Kyle Manzardo’s multi-homer game with the trade deadline looming.
The Guardians were informed by MLB that Emmanuel Clase would also be put on paid leave through Aug. 31 as the league continues its investigation into gambling and sports betting. Luis Ortiz is also involved.
Then, the Guardians lost to the Colorado Rockies after Cade Smith blew a save chance in a game that began with a 2.5-hour rain delay. The win on July 29 might have been therapeutic in a way.
