Guardians Sweep White Sox; Cantillo Shines

The Cleveland Guardians triumphed over the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series sweep, highlighted by standout performances from Lane Thomas and rookie Joey Cantillo. Thomas drove in four runs in the series finale, while Cantillo flirted with a perfect game, retiring 20 consecutive batters before conceding a single in the seventh inning during his first major league win. The Guardians, now leading the AL Central by 3.5 games, demonstrated strong offensive and defensive play, including home runs by David Fry and Bo Naylor. Chicago's struggles continued as they approached a dubious record, with a 33-112 season mark and 13 straight home losses. Cleveland's bullpen was pivotal, with Emmanuel Clase securing his 43rd and 44th saves. The White Sox, under interim manager Grady Sizemore, have only won five out of 28 games since August 8.
