Kwan has 4 hits, 4 RBIs as Guardians win 6-1 to send White Sox to their
8th straight loss
[April 11, 2025]
CLEVELAND (AP) — Steven
Kwan had a homer and three singles and drove in four runs to help the
Cleveland Guardians complete a three-game sweep and hand the Chicago
White Sox their eighth straight loss with a 6-1 victory on Thursday.
Kwan singled leading off the first and scored on Kyle Manzardo's fourth
home run of the season for a 2-1 lead, and the Guardians never trailed
again. The White Sox, winless in April, dropped to 2-10 after losing a
post-1900-record 121 games last year. |

Brayan Rocchio doubled leading off the third
and Kwan hit his second home run on the next pitch for a 4-1
lead. Kwan added run-scoring singles his next two times up to go
4 for 5.
Gavin Williams (1-0) allowed one run on three hits and two
walks, striking out seven in five innings. Jakob Junis and Joey
Cantillo both pitched two scoreless innings.
Jonathan Cannon (0-2) allowed six runs on seven hits and three
walks in the loss, pitching 5 1/3 innings in his third start.
A rough month got worse when the White Sox put Korey Lee (left
ankle) and Mike Tauchman (right hamstring strain) on the 10-day
injured list before the game. Andrew Benintendi was put on the
10-day IL on Wednesday.
Key moment
Manzardo’s home run came after a shaky first inning from
Williams, who settled down after giving up a single and a walk
before throwing two wild pitches in falling behind 1-0.
Key stat
The Guardians beat Chicago 1-0 and 3-2 in the first two games
despite having just three hits in each — something they hadn’t
done since 1901 in back-to-back victories. The Rockies were the
last to do it — 30 years ago.
Up next
Tanner Bibee (1-1, 6.52 ERA) starts for the Guardians on Friday
in the first of three games against the visiting Royals. Davis
Martin (0-1, 5.73) starts as the White Sox begin a six-game
homestand on Friday with the first of three against the Red Sox.
