Chicago White Sox managed a first-inning lead but couldn’t sustain offense, drawing a blank after one run as Parker Messick’s mix of fastball and changeup kept Cleveland in check. Davis Martin steadied after a rough first, yet a late two-run shot by C.J. Kayfus and a costly error-free third inning sealed a 3-1 loss. Despite outhitting the Guardians, Chicago couldn’t string together multi-run damage and left runners stranded, highlighting the need for a deeper lineup breakout.
