PITTSBURGH (AP) — Cleveland's Kyle Manzardo spoiled Paul Skenes' bobblehead day, taking the young Pittsburgh Pirates ace deep in the Guardians’ 3-0 victory on Saturday.

Manzardo led off the seventh by taking the first pitch he saw from Skenes (2-2) and sending it over the right-field stands. The fifth home run of the season by Cleveland's designated hitter landed 411 feet from home plate before bouncing into the Allegheny River.

Steven Kwan had two hits for the Guardians, including a run-scoring single off Skenes in the third. Nolan Jones also had two hits for Cleveland.
