Zimmerman Powers Guardians to 5-3 Win
The Cleveland Guardians beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-3, at Veterans Stadium. Cleveland third baseman Ryan Zimmerman had an outstanding performance. He was 3-4 with a home run, a triple, and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Danys Baez closed out the game, earning his 26th save. Cleveland occupies 16th place in the Virtual Baseball League at 57-64.

Curtis Granderson had a big 2-run home run for the Guardians in the top of the first inning. With Cleveland leading 1-0 and a runner on 3rd, he sized up a fastball from Curt Schilling, who finished 2nd in the VBL in innings pitched with 245.1 in 2001, and punished it. The result was his 19th home run of the season, which put the Guardians on top, 3-0.

Said Cleveland manager Charlie Manuel: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."
