With the infield drawn in, Brayan Rocchio hit a
chopper to shortstop Tim Anderson, who couldn't field the ball
cleanly. Anderson's mishap allowed Brennan to score, and Cam
Gallagher followed with a base hit to plate Arias and give
Cleveland a 3-1 lead.
Relievers Nick Sandlin and Trevor Stephan held the White Sox at
bay until Emmanuel Clase worked around a single in the ninth to
record his major-league-leading 15th save.
Sandlin (2-1) earned the win with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless
relief.
Chicago starter Dylan Cease (2-3) took the loss after
surrendering three runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings. He walked
one and fanned three.
Luis Robert Jr. doubled and singled for the White Sox, who won
the first two games of the three-game set. Seby Zavala drove in
Chicago's only run with a single in the fourth.
Zavala broke a scoreless tie when he lofted a soft line-drive
single to center to score Andrew Benintendi, who had doubled
with one out.
It didn't take long for Cleveland to respond, though, as Arias
drilled a first-pitch fastball from Cease 406 feet to right
center to level things in the fifth.
Chicago looked poised to break the game open in the second. The
Sox loaded the bases with no outs, but Guardians starter Logan
Allen got Hanser Alberto to pop out before recording a pair of
strikeouts to get out of the jam.
Allen ended up lasting 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run on seven
hits. He walked one and struck out five.
White Sox reliever Garrett Crochet pitched a perfect ninth in
what was his first appearance since Oct. 1, 2021. Crochet missed
all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
