Erick Fedde held the visiting Cleveland Guardians scoreless over
six-plus innings as the Chicago White Sox opened the four-game series
with a 3-2 victory on Thursday.
Fedde (3-0) allowed six hits and no walks while striking out three. Eloy
Jimenez broke out of a 4-for-33 slump with two hits for Chicago, which
recorded just its 10th win of the season after prevailing for the fourth
time in the past six games. |

The White Sox also got two hits apiece from
Tommy Pham and Bryan Ramos.
Josh Naylor, Will Brennan and Bo Naylor each had two hits for
Cleveland, which went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position
and left seven men on base.
Trailing 3-0 with two outs in the eighth inning, Cleveland cut
into the deficit with back-to-back homers by Jose Ramirez and
Josh Naylor against John Brebbia.
Michael Kopech replaced Brebbia and retired David Fry on a
flyout before working around a one-out single in the ninth for
his fourth save.
Chicago went on top in the first inning when Pham hit a leadoff
double and scored on Andrew Vaughn's one-out double off the
right-center-field fence.
The White Sox added two runs in the second inning. Ramos doubled
to begin the inning and Paul DeJong followed with a run-scoring
single. After DeJong stole second with two outs, Pham delivered
an RBI single.
Cleveland starter Ben Lively (1-2) allowed three runs on eight
hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out two.
Ramos is 7-for-18 (.389) with two doubles in six games since
being recalled from Double-A Birmingham for his major league
debut last week.
Chicago maintained its lead after escaping a bases-loaded,
none-out jam in the seventh inning.
Fedde was replaced by Jordan Leasure after allowing three
consecutive singles to begin the seventh inning. Leasure then
struck out Bo Naylor and Tyler Freeman before Kyle Manzardo
grounded out.
Cleveland came up empty earlier in the game when Fedde allowed
consecutive singles to begin the fifth inning. Fedde escaped
unscathed after Freeman grounded into a double play and Manzardo
grounded to first base.
