Gavin Sheets had given the White Sox a 6-5 lead
in the top of the extra frame by clubbing an RBI double, but the
Guardians still came away with their sixth win in the past seven
games. Sheets finished with three hits, including a home run,
and five RBIs.
Chicago, which led 5-0 at one point, fell to 2-10. The White Sox
stranded a runner at third in the eighth, ninth and 10th innings
on Wednesday.
The visitors scored twice in the first. After his run-scoring
double, Sheets eventually came home from third while Andrew
Benintendi was caught trying to steal second.
In the third, Chicago's Nicky Lopez opened the frame with an
infield single and Robbie Grossman walked. One batter later,
Sheets unleashed a towering drive well into the right-field
seats off Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee for a 5-0 lead.
Bibee allowed all five runs on six hits and three walks over 4
1/3 innings. He fanned two.
Cleveland finally got on the board in the fourth when Josh
Naylor cleared the center-field wall. Ramon Laureano was later
hit by a pitch, and Bo Naylor also went deep to center field off
White Sox starter Erick Fedde.
Steven Kwan made it a one-run game with his solo homer to
right-center off Fedde in the fifth.
The Guardians ended Fedde's night when they loaded the bases
with nobody out in the sixth. However, they only tied it as a
run came home when David Fry was hit by a pitch from Tanner
Banks.
Fedde surrendered five runs (four earned) and four hits in
five-plus innings. He walked three and struck out three.
Eli Morgan (1-0) earned the win for Cleveland.
