Kyle Manzardo Delivers as the Cleveland Guardians Beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in 10 Innings

The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in 10 innings on August 27, 2025, with Kyle Manzardo hitting the game-winning single.
The win followed a period of offensive struggles for Cleveland, including a 45-inning drought without an extra-base hit before Nolan Jones hit a tying ninth-inning home run.
Manzardo recorded his third game-ending hit this season, becoming the first Guardians player to reach that mark since Jim Thome did so in 2001, while Cade Smith earned the victory by retiring all batters in order during the 10th inning against Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay started strong with a two-run homer from Brandon Lowe in the third inning but has now lost six of their last nine games. Meanwhile, Stephen Vogt decided to rest Jose Ramirez, who has struggled with a.190 batting average over his previous seven contests.
This victory snapped Cleveland's three-series losing streak and marked their second straight win, though they remain 4½ games behind Seattle for the American League wild-card spot and face a critical series starting Friday.
