Game Summary
Cleveland Guardians defeated Chicago White Sox 6-3. Cleveland won by manufacturing a four-run sixth inning and getting big contributions from Petey Halpin and José Ramírez while Parker Messick delivered a stout outing. Halpin went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and three RBI, and Ramírez had two doubles including the RBI knock that made it 6-3. Messick worked six innings, allowed three runs with eight strikeouts, and the Guardians’ pen closed it out with Cade Smith recording the save. The turning point came in the bottom of the sixth, when Halpin’s long ball put Cleveland ahead and Ramírez’s double added an insurance run after Chicago’s three-run fifth had briefly taken a 3-2 lead.
