📰 Smart Meter Installation Set to Begin in Mentor June 23

FirstEnergy will begin rolling out its Ohio Smart Meter Program in the City of Mentor starting the week of June 23, 2025. The upgrade is part of a statewide initiative to modernize electric service.

Residents scheduled for conversion should have received a brochure by mail 4–6 weeks ahead of the installation. An additional letter, arriving two weeks prior, outlines program details, contact information, and opt-out options.

Meter replacements will be performed by FirstEnergy employees or Wellington Contractors, who will carry visible identification. Company vehicles will be clearly marked, and Wellington staff will wear brown uniforms.

After installation, a door hanger will be left confirming the meter exchange. If repairs are needed, another door hanger will provide details. Follow-up work—if required—will be handled by FirstEnergy or its contractors at no cost to the resident.

For more information, visit FirstEnergy’s Ohio Smart Meters page.

⚾ Late-Inning Firepower Lifts Cleveland Past Detroit in Extra-Inning Thriller

Cleveland used a four-run outburst in the 10th inning—powered by RBI doubles from Kyle Manzardo and Angel Martínez—to claim a 7–5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night. The win marked the Guardians’ third consecutive triumph in the series.

After being held scoreless through the first nine innings, Cleveland broke a 3–3 tie in the 10th. Manzardo opened the inning with an RBI double off Brenan Hanifee (2–2), followed by Martínez’s run-scoring double to make it 5–3. Bo Naylor added a sacrifice fly and Nolan Jones chipped in with an RBI single to cap the rally.

Though Detroit answered with a two-run double from Gleyber Torres in the bottom of the inning, closer Emmanuel Clase recorded the final two outs to preserve the win. Tim Herrin (4–1) earned the victory with a clean ninth inning.

The Tigers jumped out early with a three-run first inning, sparked by Colt Keith’s RBI double and Matt Vierling’s two-run single. However, they managed just two hits for the remainder of the game—both by Torres.

Cleveland began its comeback in the third with a Naylor home run and a José Ramírez RBI single. The Guardians tied the game in the eighth when Ramírez scored on Martínez’s grounder, despite a strong throw to the plate.

Ramírez extended his hitting streak to 17 games with his third-inning single.

Up Next:
The Guardians and Tigers wrap up their four-game series on Sunday at 11:35 a.m. EDT. Detroit sends ace Tarik Skubal (4–2, 2.87 ERA) to the mound against Cleveland’s Logan Allen (2–2, 3.86 ERA).
