The best way for the Cleveland Guardians to improve is to play against experienced teams, such as the Philadelphia Phillies, whom they beat on Friday night, 6-0. Gavin Williams struggled with his command in his last few starts. While there's still work to do, the flamethrower looked much better against a proven, veteran Phillies lineup.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Kyle Manzardo broke the ice with a solo home run off Phillies starter Aaron Nola in the fourth inning Friday and the Guardians continued their trend of adding on late runs, scoring a 6-0 win against Philadelphia at Progressive Field.

Angel Martinez hit a two-run home run, Jose Ramirez and Kyle Manzardo had solo shots and Gavin Williams pitched five scoreless innings as the Cleveland Guardians beat the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 on Friday night.
