Rookie Kyle Manzardo hit a two-run, go-ahead homer in the eighth inning and Emmanuel Clase recorded his 46th save as the Cleveland Guardians rallied to beat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 to tighten their grip on the AL Central. Manzardo connected on the first pitch from Griffin Jax sending it deep into the right-field seats for his third homer. Their 40th come-from-behind win moved the Guardians 7 1/2 games ahead of the defending division champion Twins. It also reduced Cleveland’s magic number for clinching a playoff berth to two. Clase worked the ninth for his 33rd consecutive save and No. 46 this season, tying him with José Mesa for the club’s single-season record.
