Brenton Doyle had two hits to help Chicago win its 61st game,
one more than in 2025 when the team finished last in the
American League at 60-102.
Steven Kwan had two hits for the Guardians (58-61), who lost for
the fifth time in six games. Kwan and Murakami extended their
on-base streaks to 25 games, tied for the longest active run in
the majors.
The game was delayed by rain for 2 hours, 23 minutes, after the
first inning with the Guardians ahead 2-1. Both managers
replaced their starters — Chicago’s Davis Martin and Cleveland’s
Joey Cantillo — when play resumed.
White Sox left-hander Hagen Smith took over in the second,
making his major league debut. Smith (1-0) tossed two scoreless
innings for the win, but walked the bases loaded in the third
before Brayan Rocchio lined out to third to end the threat.
Trevor Richards, the sixth Chicago reliever, allowed a run in
the ninth on two walks and José Ramirez's sacrifice fly, but
earned his third career save and first this season.
Cleveland lefty Tim Herrin entered in the bottom of the second,
followed by Craig Yoho with two outs in the third. Yoho (2-1)
allowed four runs on two hits and four walks while getting only
one out.
After Grichuk’s double down the left-field line tied it at 2,
Montgomery lined a cutter to right to put Chicago ahead 5-2.
