Kyle Manzardo's RBI single in 10th inning gives Guardians 3-2 win over Twins
The Guardians loaded the bases against Kody Funderburk (1-1) on a single by Steven Kwan and an intentional walk to José Ramírez. Manzardo brought in automatic runner Rocchio with a liner to left field.
Cade Smith (3-4) pitched the final two innings as Cleveland improved to 9-5 since the All-Star break.
Ramírez drove in Kwan in the first inning, then stole second base to become the 17th player with 275 steals and 275 home runs in a career. He is the first primary third baseman to reach the milestone and the second switch hitter, joining Carlos Beltrán.
Rocchio brought home Carlos Santana in the second to give the Guardians a 2-0 lead against Joe Ryan, who worked six innings. Cleveland starter Gavin Williams struck out eight over six scoreless frames.
Minnesota tied the score at 2-all in the seventh on a throwing error by pitcher Hunter Gaddis, allowing Brooks Lee and Christian Vázquez to come around.
The Twins promoted four pitchers and four position players from Triple-A St. Paul before the game. They made nine trades in the 24 hours preceding Thursday's deadline.
Gaddis inexplicably threw the ball toward first on Martin's infield hit, instead of holding it, and fired a bouncer past first baseman Santana into right field. Both unearned runs were charged to Erik Sabrowski.
Key stat
The Twins had 25 players in uniform, one less than the roster limit, after exchanging 26 total players during their four-day flurry of transactions.
Up next
Guardians RHP Tanner Bibee (7-9, 4.39 ERA), who has won three straight starts, pitches on Saturday. Twins' RHP Bailey Ober (4-6, 5.28 ERA) will be activated from the injured list after missing a month with left hip impingement.

Shedeur Sanders explains why he doesn't want his father Deion to visit him at Browns camp
Deion Sanders is busy this time of year. He has a college football season to get ready for as Colorado's head coach. But just in case he wanted to find time to see his son Shedeur at Cleveland Browns camp, Shedeur Sanders would nix that idea. Talking to the media at Browns camp on Monday, Shedeur Sanders said he doesn't want his dad to come see him yet. He had a couple good reasons. First, Shedeur Sanders is still just a late-round rookie draft pick who is practically buried on the Browns depth chart early in camp. He's focused on working his way up the pecking order. Second, he knows what would happen if his celebrity father showed up at practice. Shedeur Sanders focused on moving up depth chart Shedeur Sanders explained that he'd rather work on moving up the depth chart before seeing Deion Sanders come watch him practice. Shedeur Sanders famously fell to the fifth round of the draft and he's still working with the backups even though Kenny Pickett has been out with a hamstring injury. Joe Flacco is the projected starter and fellow rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel was drafted two rounds ahead of Sanders. Like any rookie who isn't high on the depth chart, practice reps aren't plentiful as the team gets ready for Week 1. "I don't want him coming to see me right now because I want to get to where I want to go, then for him to see me," Shedeur Sanders told reporters, via Mary Kay Cabot of "I don't want him to see me get a couple reps and he's cheering like a good dad like, nah, you can't be proud of me right now. I've got to get to where I'm going and I know it's a lot I've got to do to get there." He also wants to do that work without the circus that would come from Deion Sanders showing up to watch his son. 'A gift and a curse' Shedeur Sanders is unlike most rookies, and definitely unlike any other fifth-round rookie. Through the offseason Sanders has gotten more attention than practically any of the 143 players taken before him. That's unusual. Part of that is his draft fall, another part is how he has been a big name through his college career and a factor in that was that his father is one of the best known figures in sports. Deion Sanders was an all-time NFL great and his charisma and bravado has made him one of the most talked-about coaches in college football. Shedeur Sanders can't just blend in as a fifth-round rookie trying to move up the depth chart. Everything he does is dissected. It wouldn't get easier if Deion Sanders was watching practice from the sideline, and Shedeur Sanders is self-aware enough to know that. "I just want everything I'm doing to focus on this time and I don't want no distractions," Sanders said. "Because we know how the media, we know how everybody would take it and take away from the team, just from him being my dad showing up. "It's a gift and a curse at the same time."
