CHICAGO (AP) — The opener of a four-game series
between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox on
Thursday night was postponed because of rain.
It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Friday.
Cleveland's Logan Allen and Chicago All-Star Shane Smith are
scheduled to start the opener, with the Guardians' Gavin
Williams and Jonathan Cannon getting the ball in the nightcap.
Cleveland is fourth in the AL Central at 43-48. The Guardians
swept three games at Houston after losing 10 in a row.
Chicago is an American League-worst 31-62.
The White Sox were to debut “45” uniform patches in honor of
late closer Bobby Jenks. They will wear them for the remainder
of the season.
A World Series champion and two-time All-Star, Jenks died Friday
in Sintra, Portugal, where he was being treated for
adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer. He was 44.
Jenks was on the mound for the final out in Game 4 of the 2005
World Series at Houston, giving Chicago its first title since
1917. Members of the championship team are reuniting in Chicago
to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the title run. The White
Sox are scheduled to unveil a statue of former ace Mark Buehrle
on Friday.
