Cleveland GuardiansvsChicago White Sox
CLE 4/CHW 3
Things to say
The Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 in 10 innings on the road.
01
opener
Guardians grabbed it 4-3 in extras at Rate Field. Free-baseball game, ghost runner and all. Cleveland just kept clawing.
02
key player
Cleveland's bullpen was the real MVP. Slammed the door late and stranded the heart of the order with the tying run on.
03
hot take
Honestly the White Sox bench cost them this one. Manager went to the pen too early and it bit him.
04
deep cut
Chicago left the winning run out there in the ninth. Couldn't push the ghost runner across in the tenth either. That's the whole game right there.
05
exit
Getaway-day baseball, you take the win and run. Curious to see if Cleveland keeps it rolling in the next series.
The recap
Guardians and White Sox went the distance at Rate Field, and Cleveland walked off with it 4-3 in extras. Neither side could break it open through nine, so this one came down to who blinked first in the tenth, and the Sox bullpen finally cracked.
Cleveland scratched across the winner in the 10th to steal it on the road. A grind-it-out win that nudges the Guards back over .500.
