Steven Kwan hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the 10th inning as the Cleveland Guardians rallied to edge the host Chicago White Sox 6-5 on Sunday.
Kyle Manzardo smacked a three-run home run and Brayan Rocchio had two hits for the Guardians, who won three of four in the weekend series and enters the All-Star break with victories in six of its past seven games.
Chicago has lost six of eight and carries an American League-high 65 losses into the break.
Cleveland trailed 3-0 after five innings before rallying to improve to 6-1 against Chicago this season.
Emmanuel Clase (5-2) retired all six batters he faced to notch the victory.
Losing pitcher Brandon Eisert (2-2) allowed an unearned run in the 10th with one strikeout.
Chicago’s Luis Robert Jr. tied the game 5-5 with a two-out double in the eighth after an intentional walk to Andrew Benintendi, who went 3-for-3 with a solo home run.
After managing just one baserunner against Guardians starter Joey Cantillo through the first three innings, the White Sox surged ahead 1-0 as Austin Slater hit a home run to lead off the fourth, his first of two hits on the day.
Chicago added a pair of runs in the fifth. Miguel Vargas opened the inning with a double, advanced to third on a groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly. Slater added an RBI single to give the White Sox a 3-0 advantage.
Cleveland rallied for four runs in the sixth as White Sox right-hander Aaron Civale faded. After surrendering only a bunt single and walking one through five innings, Civale struggled with his command. Mandazardo’s three-run blast, his 15th home run of the season, chased Civale from the game.
Benintendi tied the game with a solo shot in the bottom half of the inning.
Civale remained winless in six starts with the White Sox, allowing four runs and three hits in 5 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out three.
Cantillo also took a no-decision, spacing four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings with zero walks and six strikeouts.
