After yielding one home run in 13 innings to
begin the month, Guardians starter Peyton Battenfield allowed
three on Wednesday. Sheets (second inning) and Vaughn (fourth)
delivered solo shots ahead of Burger's two-run blast in the
fourth.
Battenfield (0-5) spaced five runs and nine hits in 4 1/3
innings with one walk and two strikeouts.
The Guardians opened the scoring in the first inning on Josh
Bell's two-out RBI double against Clevinger, who spent the first
four-plus seasons of his major league career with Cleveland
before the club traded him to San Diego during the 2020 season.
Clevinger earned the victory to improve to 3-3, but he had help
from his defense and bullpen. He scattered two runs and six hits
in six innings while walking four and striking out five.
After loading the bases to start the seventh with two walks and
a single, Clevinger looked on as reliever Reynaldo Lopez allowed
just one inherited runner to score while striking out two.
White Sox pitching limited the Guardians to six hits. Josh
Naylor, who left Tuesday's loss with left leg tightness, was out
of the lineup, while Jose Ramirez remained on the bereavement
list due to the death of his grandmother.
Burger went 3-for-4 to lead a 12-hit attack for Chicago, while
Tim Anderson and Andrew Benintendi added two hits each.
Chicago catcher Yasmani Grandal had two hits but left in the
sixth inning, wincing and signaling for a pinch runner upon
reaching first base. Manager Pedro Grifol told reporters after
the game that Grandal aggravated his right hamstring injury and
is day-to-day.
Bell collected the Guardians' other RBI when he coaxed a
bases-loaded walk in the seventh.
Cleveland has lost two straight and four of six.
