Cleveland Guardians blaze past Reds as former star reflects on 2016 World Series

Cleveland Guardians home run surge Kyle Manzardo Corey Kluber 2016 World Series

The Cleveland Guardians powered through a 10-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, belting six home runs—the most at home since 2013. Kyle Manzardo hit two of those, with rookie Chase DeLauter, Angel Martinez and José Ramírez each adding two‑run shots. The offensive outburst was backed by Gavin Williams, who earned the win on six innings of work.

Separately, former Guardians ace Corey Kluber looked back on the franchise’s 2016 World Series loss to the Chicago Cubs. In an interview, Kluber said the pain of that Game 7 defeat still lingers but has lessened over time, describing the experience as a defining moment in Cleveland baseball history.

Both pieces underscore the Guardians’ current strength and the lasting impact of their most famous postseason run.
