White Sox Secure 8-2 Win Against Guardians

The Chicago White Sox secured an 8-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, with Erick Fedde allowing just one run over six innings and lowering his ERA to 3.13. Fedde’s strong performance, including retiring the last 12 batters he faced, bolstered his trade value ahead of the July 30 deadline. Key contributions also came from Martin Maldonado, who homered and drove in three runs, and Lenyn Sosa, who matched his career-high with three hits. Guardians’ pitcher Gavin Williams made his season debut after a three-month absence but struggled, giving up five runs in four innings. Despite Brayan Rocchio’s solo homer, the Guardians' inconsistent rotation remains a concern. The outcome highlights the White Sox's surprising success against the Guardians, despite having the worst record in the majors.
