Game Summary
Cleveland Guardians defeated the Chicago White Sox 8-2. The Guardians won thanks to a five-run fifth inning that broke the game open and a dominant outing from Parker Messick. Angel Martínez belted a grand slam and finished 2-for-5 with six RBIs, while Steven Kwan added a solo homer and three hits. Messick worked seven strong innings, allowing two runs on four hits with eight strikeouts and was credited with the win. The turning point came in the fifth, when Martínez’s grand slam turned a 2-1 game into a 7-1 lead. Chicago’s offense produced solo homers from Braden Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami but never closed the gap.
