Jose Ramirez hit a two-run home run, Steven
Kwan had three hits and scored a run and Andres Gimenez and Josh
Naylor each had two hits and a run for the Guardians, who have
won eight of their first 10.
The White Sox used a string of relief pitchers, starting with
left-hander Tanner Banks (0-1), who allowed one run and two hits
in 2 1/3 innings, striking out five without a walk.
The White Sox, who finished with four hits, have lost nine of
their first 10.
Banks struck out five of the first six batters he faced before
Gimenez doubled into the left field corner on the first pitch of
the bottom of the third inning.
Gimenez was still on second with one out when Brayan Rocchio hit
a hard grounder that went off the glove of shortstop Braden
Shewmake and into shallow left for an error, allowing Gimenez to
score from second for a 1-0 lead.
Dominic Leone replaced Banks with runners on the corners and one
out and induced an inning-ending double play.
The Guardians loaded the bases off Leone with one out in the
fourth on two singles and a walk. Tim Hill replaced Leone and
hit Gimenez with a pitch to force in a run and extend
Cleveland's lead to 2-0.
After Kwan singled to center with one out in the fifth, Bryan
Shaw entered for Hill and surrendered the two-run homer to
Ramirez on a 2-2 slider to push the score to 4-0.
McKenzie departed after giving up a two-out single to Andrew
Benintendi in the sixth.
Tim Herrin came in and walked Dominic Fletcher but then struck
out pinch hitter Paul DeJong.
Hunter Gaddis pitched a scoreless seventh for Cleveland, Cade
Smith did the same in the eighth and Emmanuel Clase finished out
the ninth.
