Chicago White SoxvsCleveland Guardians
CHW 3/CLE 4
Things to say
The Guardians walked off the White Sox 4-3 in 10 innings at Progressive Field.
01
opener
Yeah, that one went the distance. Guardians took it 4-3 in extras, walk-off in the tenth. Classic getaway-day baseball, nobody could put it away.
02
key player
Cleveland's pen was the story for me. Starter gave them a solid five or six, then the relievers just kept slamming the door until they could steal it late.
03
hot take
Honestly the White Sox gave that one away. You don't leave a game like that hanging with the heart of the order due up and expect to win on the road.
04
deep cut
Once it hit the tenth with the ghost runner on second, you knew it was coming. Small ball wins that game, not the long ball.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Cleveland carries it into the next one — momentum's a funny thing this time of year.
The recap
Guardians walked it off in extra innings, edging the White Sox 4-3 in a getaway-day nailbiter that went to the tenth. Neither side could break it open through nine, and Chicago couldn't cash in when it mattered as the game slipped into free baseball.
Cleveland finally pushed the winning run across in the bottom of the tenth to steal it at Progressive Field. Ballgame, and the Guardians pull back to within striking distance in the division at 47-42.
