The Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Guardians 7-3, maintaining their lead in the AL Central. A pivotal moment came in the sixth inning when Tristan Peters fouled off 12 pitches in an 18-pitch at-bat, leading to a six-run rally. Kyle Teel hit a two-run double, and Miguel Vargas followed with a two-run homer. The White Sox, who struggled in 2025, have led the division since July 4. Sean Burke pitched five innings without allowing an earned run, and Chicago’s bullpen secured the win. The Guardians’ Gavin Williams pitched well for five innings but was replaced in the sixth, where Chicago capitalized on an error and Peters’ persistence. The victory improved Chicago’s record against Cleveland to 7-4, clinching the season series and tiebreaker.
