Guardians Beat White Sox After Rainout Doubleheader

Thursday's series opener between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians was postponed due to rain and rescheduled as a split doubleheader for Friday at Rate Field, with games at 2:10 p.m. and 7:10 p.m. All tickets from Thursday were honored for the makeup game. The White Sox are commemorating the 20th anniversary of their 2005 World Series title with a statue unveiling for Mark Buehrle and are wearing '45' patches in memory of their late closer Bobby Jenks. Both teams maintained their expected pitching rotations. The Guardians came into the series after sweeping the AL West-leading Astros, while the White Sox aimed to recover from a previous sweep by Cleveland in April. On Saturday, the Guardians defeated the White Sox 6-2, pulling ahead with late-inning runs.
