Candelario went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in a 4-2 win over the Guardians on Wednesday.
Candelario hit a solo home run off Tanner Bibee in the first inning and followed it up with a three-run homer off Bibee to give the Reds a 4-2 lead in the sixth. He then added a single in the eighth. Candelario has been mashing in June, hitting .340 with five homers and 11 RBI through 11 contests.
