Kyle Manzardo hit a three-run homer off Noah Cameron in the Guardians’ 6-5 win over a Royals split-squad on Thursday.

Manzardo was batting eighth tonight with the lefty on the mound, but he gave the Guardians a little bit more of a reason to keep him in the lineup against southpaws. While he’s hitting just .140 overall this spring, there’s no question that he’ll open up as a starter against right-handers. It’s just a matter of whether he’s platooned or not. Starting against lefties would probably lead to a weaker batter average, but it still could make the difference in whether or not he’s worth playing in mixed leagues.
