Guardians, White Sox Split Doubleheader with Walk-Off Win in Chicago

The Cleveland Guardians secured a 6-2 win over the Chicago White Sox, highlighted by Kyle Manzardo's go-ahead home run and Steven Kwan’s key contributions, including a sacrifice fly and two RBIs. Tanner Bibee earned his first win since May 22, pitching 5 2/3 innings while the bullpen closed out with perfect relief. The Guardians showcased strong baserunning with Jose Ramirez stealing three bases and Austin Hedges scoring a crucial run on Kwan's sacrifice fly. Meanwhile, the White Sox salvaged a doubleheader split by winning the second game 5-4 in 11 innings, thanks to Mike Tauchman’s walk-off infield single. Despite the loss, the White Sox continued to demonstrate resilience, with rookie Shane Smith pitching effectively and Lenyn Sosa hitting two solo home runs. A previous game on July 12 saw the White Sox achieve a dramatic 6-5 walk-off win over the Guardians, featuring a rare broken bat play by Billy Hamilton that led to the winning run, providing a momentum boost for Chicago in the AL Central standings.
