Guardians Extend Win Streak With Santana Home Run Against White Sox

Carlos Santana played a pivotal role in the Cleveland Guardians' 4-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a doubleheader, hitting a tiebreaking two-run homer in the sixth inning. Santana, a 39-year-old first baseman in his sixteenth major-league season, has returned to Cleveland on a one-year contract and continues to contribute both offensively and as a clubhouse leader. His home run moved him into fifth place on the franchise’s all-time home run leaderboard and was part of Cleveland's fourth consecutive win. Logan Allen pitched six strong innings, allowing just one hit and two runs, while Emmanuel Clase secured his 20th save of the season. The Guardians took an early lead with back-to-back homers by Daniel Schneemann and Angel Martínez, who has homered in three straight games. Despite a home run from Chicago's Luis Robert Jr., the White Sox were limited to just two hits and suffered their fourth loss in five games.
