Tauchman gets the winning hit in the 11th as the White Sox beat the
Guardians 5-4 for DH split

CHICAGO (AP) — Mike Tauchman drove in Colson Montgomery
with an infield single in the 11th inning, and the Chicago White Sox
beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-4 on Friday night to salvage a
doubleheader split.
Batting with runners on the corners and one out, Tauchman's tapper
rolled under Kolby Allard's glove. Montgomery scampered home as Allard
(2-1) went down to one knee in frustration. |

Chicago trailed 4-3 before Josh Rojas hit a
sacrifice fly off Paul Sewald right before it started to rain in
the eighth.
Mike Vasil (4-3) pitched three innings for the win. He escaped a
bases-loaded jam in the 10th and 11th in the wet weather,
delighting what was left of a crowd of 25,084.
Cleveland had won four straight, including a 4-2 victory in the
first game of the day. The Guardians went 2 for 16 with runners
in scoring position and stranded 14 baserunners in the nightcap.
José Ramírez hit a two-run homer for Cleveland in the second
game. Daniel Schneemann doubled and scored, and he also made an
outstanding diving catch on Montgomery's liner to second in the
fourth.
Lenyn Sosa hit solo drives in the first and the fifth against
Gavin Williams, helping Chicago take a 3-2 lead. It was Sosa's
second career multihomer game after he also went deep twice on
June 25 against Arizona.
Cleveland tied it at 3 in the sixth. After Bo Naylor fouled out
on a bunt attempt with runners on the corners, Brayan Rocchio
drove in Schneemann with a double to left off Jordan Leasure.
Key moment
Cleveland's Kyle Manzardo bounced into an inning-ending double
play against Vasil in the 11th.
Key stat
The White Sox improved to 1-4 against the Guardians in the
season series.
Up next
Tanner Bibee (4-9, 4.35 ERA) pitches for Cleveland on Saturday,
and fellow right-hander Sean Burke (4-8, 4.40 ERA) starts for
Chicago.
