CINCINNATI (AP) \u2014 Kyle Manzardo hit a grand slam, Chase DeLauter scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice bunt in the eighth inning and the Cleveland Guardians snapped a five-game losing streak, rallying for a 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez had two hits and stole two bases in the fifth inning before scoring the tying run.<\/p>\n
Sal Stewart drove in three runs, including a two-run double to give the Reds a 5-4 lead during a four-run fourth inning. Stewart also had a solo homer in the second inning off Guardians starter Slade Cecconi.<\/p>\n
With Stewart on first base and two out in the ninth, Cleveland right fielder Angel Mart\u00ednez made a diving catch on a looping fly ball hit by JJ Bleday for the final out and give Cade Smith his major league-leading 30th save.<\/p>\n
Colin Holderman (6-2) worked a scoreless seventh inning to get the win.<\/p>\n
DeLauter, whose sacrifice fly in the fifth tied it at 5, got aboard with one out in the eighth with a base hit off Cincinnati\u2019s Sam Moll (1-7) to extend his on-base streak to 18 games. He then advanced to third on Travis Bazzana\u2019s single before scoring on the sacrifice bunt.<\/p>\n
The bases were loaded with two outs in the first when Manzardo hit a hanging slider from Reds starter Chase Burns on a 2-2 count and drove it into the Guardians\u2019 bullpen in right field. It was the first grand slam of Manzardo\u2019s three-year career and Cleveland\u2019s fourth of the season.<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
Cleveland will go with right-hander Gavin Williams (10-5, 3.78 ERA) in the nightcap. Cincinnati will go with a bullpen game, but has not named an opener.<\/p>\n
