Zach Remillard singled twice and walked once
batting ninth for Chicago, which had its season-high four-game
winning streak snapped.
The White Sox tallied one hit in each of the first six innings
but failed to break through against Allen (4-2), whose day
started painfully when he was drilled in the lower back by Tommy
Pham's comebacker on the first pitch he threw.
Allen recovered to throw 87 pitches, scattering six hits while
striking out three and walking one.
Chicago starter Michael Soroka pounded the strike zone in the
early innings, and the Guardians made him pay in the fourth.
Gimenez led off the inning with his second home run of the
season, a solo shot that put Cleveland ahead 2-0. He hobbled
around the bases after fouling a ball directly off his right
kneecap on the previous pitch.
Josh Naylor stung a double off the left-center-field wall two
batters later, and Fry followed with his third blast of the
season to make it 4-0.
Soroka (0-5) allowed five runs (four earned) on four hits over 5
1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one.
The White Sox deepened their deficit with sloppy defense in the
sixth inning.
The Guardians went ahead 5-0 on Andrew Vaughn's fielding error
with runners on first and third and added a sixth run on Korey
Lee's passed ball. Two hitters later, Florial dumped a two-out
RBI double into left field to make it 7-0.
Cleveland relievers Nick Sandlin, Hunter Gaddis and Sam Hentges
held Chicago hitless over the final three innings.
Soroka retired the Guardians' first seven hitters before Florial
lined a one-out triple in the third inning that bounced past a
charging Rafael Ortega in center field.
Florial was nearly thrown out at home tagging up on Brayan
Rocchio's ensuing fly ball, but Pham's throw from shallow left
skipped past Lee for a sacrifice fly that scored the game's
first run.
