Game Updates
The White Sox's resurgent bats delivered a much-needed 6-4 victory over the Guardians on Sunday afternoon, powered by a pair of clutch home runs that turned the tide at Guaranteed Rate Field. Lenyn Sosa was the hero of the day, crushing a three-run homer in his first at-bat and finishing 2-for-3 with three RBIs, while rookie Colson Montgomery added insurance with a towering solo shot in the fifth. Chicago's offense made Cleveland starter Slade Cecconi pay early, tagging him for five runs in just three innings before the bullpen steadied the ship. Mike Tauchman and Josh Rojas each contributed multi-hit performances as the White Sox snapped a three-game skid with their most complete offensive showing in weeks.
The Guardians' lone bright spot came from Kyle Manzardo, whose two-run homer in the third briefly tied the game, but Cleveland's lineup otherwise struggled to capitalize against Chicago's patchwork pitching staff. With José Ramírez and Steven Kwan combining to go 0-for-9, the Guardians' playoff push hits another speed bump, while the White Sox—despite their last-place standing—showed flashes of the firepower that could make them spoilers down the stretch.
