The Guardians won 3-1 in Toronto to kick off a three-game series on Friday night.
I found it interesting that Bo Naylor got the start at DH over Kyle Manzardo, with Kevin Gausman having an FIP .16 higher against LHP this year. I think Vogt is trying to figure out how to get two, young, learning lefty hitters the at-bats they need to find their stroke without hurting the team. But, was it coincidental that Juan Brito got his second start at first base last night? I don’t know. If it were me, I’d be trying to make sure Manzardo plays five times a week.
