Guillen, a three-time All-Star, hadn't started a game Sept. 3 -- but Leyland had no doubt the 14-year veteran would be ready to contribute.
"I'm happier for him than anybody else today," Leyland said. "He's been working like everybody else. He's a proud guy. He's a pro and he knows he hadn't played for 10 days. He wants to show people he's a very capable player. He showed that today."
Guillen hit the ball hard in all five plate appearances.
"He must have a dumb manager," Leyland said. "Dumb managers sit guys for 10 days and when they come out, they hit (five) balls hard. I must be pretty dumb."
