Kwan's 10th-Inning Sac Fly Lifts Guardians Over White Sox 6-5

Sunday, July 13th, 2025

CHICAGO — Steven Kwan knocked in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and made a sliding catch to help prevent a run from scoring in the bottom of the inning as the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 6-5 on Sunday, July 13, 2025.

Kwan's fly off Brandon Eisert scored automatic runner Angel Martínez. Kwan covered a lot of ground in left field and made a catch just inside the foul line on a fly ball by Mike Tauchman leading off the 10th.

Kyle Manzardo hit his 15th homer — a three-run shot off Aaron Civale, the player he was traded for in June — to cap a four-run sixth and give Cleveland a 4-3 lead. Brayan Rocchio doubled with one out and scored on a force out by José Ramírez for the first run.

Austin Slater hit his fourth home run, a leadoff shot off Joey Cantillo in the fourth, to put the White Sox ahead 1-0. Michael A. Taylor's sac fly and Slater's RBI single extended the lead to 3-0 in the fifth.

Andrew Benintendi hit his 11th home run, a solo shot off Cantillo, to tie it at 4 in the sixth.

Kwan drew a walk in the eighth off Grant Taylor, took third on a single by Nolan Jones and scored on Ramírez's sac fly for a 5-4 lead.

Edgar Quero doubled in the eighth and pinch-runner Will Robertson scored on Luis Robert Jr.'s two-out double to tie it 5-all.

Cantillo allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings with six strikeouts. Closer Emmanuel Clase didn't allow a hit in the final two innings as Cleveland won three of four in the series.
