White Sox right-hander Lance Lynn (2-5) allowed
three runs, one earned, and seven hits in seven-plus innings. He
finished with seven strikeouts and no walks.
Guardians starter Shane Bieber (3-2) was tagged for six runs,
five earned, and a career-high 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings. He
struck out four and did not walk a batter.
Will Brennan had two hits, Steven Kwan had two RBIs and Myles
Straw scored two runs for Cleveland, which failed in a bid to
win three in a row for the first time since a four-game streak
from March 31-April 3.
Bieber scattered seven singles in the early innings but the game
was still scoreless with two outs in the fifth when Luis Robert
Jr. reached on catcher's interference after swinging and missing
on a two-strike pitch.
Robert scored from first on a single by Moncada for a 1-0 lead.
After a line-drive single by Vaughn, Sheets lifted a 1-1 pitch
deep over the fence in right-center field for a 4-0 lead.
Grandal followed with his third hit of the game, and Burger then
lined an opposite-field homer just inside the right field foul
pole for a 6-0 lead.
The Guardians got a run back in the sixth on a leadoff triple by
Straw and a sacrifice fly from Kwan.
Moncada and Vaughn delivered back-to-back two-out doubles in the
bottom of the sixth to make it 7-1.
Straw reached on an error to start the eighth and scored on a
double by Kwan to make it 7-2 and end the night for Lynn.
Kwan eventually came home on a two-out infield single by Josh
Bell to trim the deficit to 7-3.
In the ninth, Robert homered for the fourth straight game to
make it 8-3.
