The Cleveland Guardians secured a 5-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox, thanks in large part to a stellar performance from their bullpen, which now holds the major leagues' lowest ERA. Lane Thomas starred for the Guardians with a three-run homer and a double, helping to maintain their 3.5-game lead in the AL Central. The win marked the White Sox's franchise-record 14th consecutive home loss, as they struggled to generate offense, finishing the game with only five hits. Guardians' starter Ben Lively left the game early due to a right thigh contusion, but six relievers combined for seven scoreless innings. With the win, Cleveland reduced their magic number to clinch the division down to 14. The White Sox, now at 33-113, are nearing the record for most losses in a season, previously set by the 1962 New York Mets.
