The Chicago White Sox secured a 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in a thrilling baseball game on Thursday night. Erick Fedde delivered a stellar performance, pitching six scoreless innings to lead the White Sox to their second consecutive win.
Despite a slow start to the season, the White Sox have shown signs of improvement, winning four of their last six games. With a record of 10-28, they have moved ahead of the Colorado Rockies to avoid having the worst record in the majors.
The Guardians, who currently lead the AL Central, put up a fight with back-to-back solo home runs by José Ramírez and Josh Naylor in the eighth inning. However, it wasn’t enough to overcome the White Sox’s lead.
Tommy Pham, who had two hits and an RBI, played a key role in Chicago’s victory. The 36-year-old outfielder has been performing well since joining the White Sox, batting .313 in his last 12 games.
Chicago rookie Bryan Ramos also made an impact, recording a single and a double in his sixth game since being called up from Double-A Birmingham. Eloy Jiménez contributed with two hits, including a double.
Fedde, who improved his record to 3-0, was pleased with his performance and emphasized the importance of consistency moving forward. The White Sox bullpen also played a crucial role in securing the win, with Michael Kopech closing out the game for his fourth save of the season.
With the victory, the White Sox look to build on their recent success and climb out of the early-season slump. The two teams are set to face off again tonight, with Carlos Carrasco taking the mound for the Guardians against Garrett Crochet of the White Sox.
