Guardians cool off Phillies with shutout win

Angel Martinez hit a two-run home run, Jose Ramirez and Kyle Manzardo had solo shots and Gavin Williams pitched five scoreless innings as the Cleveland Guardians beat the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 on Friday night.

Manzardo belted a 411-foot shot to center in the fourth and Martinez hit his first home run of the season in the fifth, both off Phillies starter Aaron Nola (1-6) in the opener of the three-game interleague series.

Ramirez went deep in the seventh against Joe Ross, helping the Guardians to their 20th victory in 29 games since April 8. Ramirez, Manzardo and Martinez had two hits apiece.

Williams (3-2) recorded eight strikeouts, one off his season high. The right-hander gave up four hits and walked four, but only allowed two baserunners to reach third.

Tim Herrin, Hunter Gaddis and Matt Festa completed the combined six-hitter, all of which were singles. Festa worked the final two frames.

Kyle Schwarber of the Phillies extended his on-base streak to a career-high 44 games with a walk, one shy of Odubel Herrera for the fourth-longest run in franchise history. The last player with a 44-game streak was New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge in 2022-2023.

Trea Turner and Nick Castellanos each had two hits for Philadelphia, which had won nine of its previous 11, including a three-game sweep at Tampa Bay, before arriving in Cleveland.

Nola worked five innings, giving up four runs on six hits. The right-hander struck out five and walked two in falling to 0-4 in five road outings this season.
