The Chicago White Sox lost to the Cleveland Guardians 6-5 despite rallying twice to tie the game. A crucial error by pitcher Aaron Civale allowed the Guardians to score, leading to a three-run home run by Kyle Manzardo. The Sox led 3-0 but ultimately fell short in extra innings, with Cleveland reclaiming the lead in the 10th. Manager Will Venable acknowledged both the fight displayed by the team and the costly mistakes made throughout the game, reflecting the team's first-half performance.
"Today just kind of felt like an embodiment of the first half where we were out there competing, making plays, making pitches, doing everything well in all phases and making some mistakes that cost us," manager Will Venable said. "Too much to overcome."
"It was just a mental error. He's upset about it. He understands his job there and that he didn't do his job," Venable said, referring to Civale's failure to cover first base.
