Tanner Bibee throws a two-hitter as the Guardians beat the White Sox 4-0
[September 13, 2025]
CLEVELAND (AP) — Tanner Bibee threw a two-hitter for Cleveland's first
complete-game shutout in six years, and David Fry and Angel Martínez
homered in the Guardians' 4-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox on
Friday night.
Bibee (10-11) struck out 10 and didn't issue a walk in going the
distance for a second time this season. His first career shutout was the
first by a Cleveland pitcher in a nine-inning game since Zach Plesac
against the Angels on Sept. 10, 2019. |

Bibee gave up back-to-back singles to Chase
Meidroth and Will Robertson with one out in the third before
Mike Tauchman grounded into a double play. He allowed two
baserunners from there — on an error in the sixth and a hit
batter in the ninth.
Cleveland didn't have a hit off Martín Pérez until Fry hit his
eighth home run — a two-out shot to left field for a 1-0 lead in
the fourth.
Jhonkensy Noel singled with one out in the fifth and scored on a
two-out single by Austin Hedges for a 2-0 lead. Nolan Jones had
an RBI single after Gabriel Arias doubled with two outs to make
it 3-0. Martínez hit his 11th homer off Steven Wilson in the
eighth to cap the scoring.
Pérez (1-5) allowed three runs on four hits in 6 2/3 innings. He
hasn’t won since March, when he pitched six hitless innings in
his first start, a 9-0 win over the Twins. He is 0-4 in six
starts since missing four months with left elbow inflammation.
White Sox rookie catcher Kyle Teel went 0 for 4 to end a 20-game
on-base streak.
Cleveland (76-71) has won seven of eight.
Key moment
Bibee cruised after Tauchman's double-play grounder to end the
third.

Sox this season, but the Guardians have won nine of 11 games.
