Manzardo went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo's sixth-inning blast aroused a dormant Guardians' offense, which scored runs in the final four innings to pull out a victory over the team they are chasing for a wild-card spot. The blast was Manzardo's 22nd of the season and snapped a 13-game drought without going deep. He batted just .136 (6-for-44) during that stretch.

Manzardo started at DH and went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo delivered a run-scoring single in the bottom of the 10th inning, as Cleveland walked off Tampa Bay for its second consecutive win. Manzardo's had a hand in each, knocking in the game-winning run in both victories. With the Guardians moving on from Carlos Santana, who was placed on outright waivers Tuesday, Manzardo is poised for regular playing time through the end of the season.

Manzardo started at first base and went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo singled in the Guardians' first run in a three-run first inning that provided all the scoring in the game. It was just the second win in the last 10 games for Cleveland, which may be pivoting from playoff contender to preparing next year's team. The organization placed the 39-year-old Carlos Santana on outright waivers Tuesday, freeing up first base for Manzardo, who has started three of the last four games there, and C.J. Kayfus.

Manzardo went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo wouldn't let Steven Kwan's leadoff double in the first inning go to waste, as he gave the Guardians an early lead with a two-out, RBI single. He's hit safely in 13 of 17 games (16 starts) in the second half, slashing .358/.453/.585 with three home runs and 13 RBI during that stretch. The lefty batter, who remains limited to mainly facing right-handed pitching, has been more effective of late than he was in the first half of the season, when Manzardo logged a .217/.293/.442 slash line.
