Lane Thomas was a key factor in the Cleveland Guardians' win against the Chicago White Sox, contributing significantly with three hits and four RBIs as the team secured a 6-4 victory, solidifying their position atop the American League Central division and completing a three-game sweep.
Cleveland's pitching was another highlight, with five pitchers combining for 18 strikeouts and the bullpen delivering an impressive 4 2/3 innings of two-hit ball. This performance underscores the Guardians' strength in both hitting and pitching at a crucial point in the season.
The Chicago White Sox faced continued struggles, stretching their home losing streak to a franchise-record 15 games. With only a few games remaining, they must achieve a 10-5 record to avoid matching the 1962 New York Mets' record for most single-season losses in modern baseball.
On the injury front, Guardians reliever Sam Hentges is set to undergo shoulder surgery and will miss between 12 to 14 months, impacting Cleveland's bullpen depth as they push for postseason positioning.
