## Resource

Kyle Manzardo’s career hit streak hit a wall—until Tuesday, when a wild twist turned his slump into a slam dunk. After being called hit by a pitch (which would’ve scored a run), the Reds challenged the call, forcing Manzardo back to the plate. Facing the same pitcher with a 2-2 count, he crushed a grand slam over the right-field wall—his first career slam and his first homer in weeks. With his average stuck at .129 and the Guardians’ offense needing a spark, this unexpected, challenge-fueled moment might just be the turning point Manzardo—and the team—needed.
