The Chicago White Sox, after a challenging start to their season, have shown significant improvement, winning four consecutive games before a loss on Sunday. Key to their recent success was pitcher Garrett Crochet, who delivered a standout performance with a career-high 11 strikeouts over six scoreless innings in a 6-3 victory against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night at Guaranteed Rate Field. This victory contributed to the White Sox's season-best third consecutive win. However, their winning streak was halted at four games after a season-high 7-0 loss to the Guardians, where the White Sox were shut out for the tenth time this season.

Ballgame. Sox’ win streak snapped in a 7-0 loss to the Guardians. They’re blanked for the 10th time this season. Michael Soroka was tagged for a couple homers in the fourth, and the Sox helped the Guardians to three runs in the sixth with sloppy play. They’re 12-29.
Sox outhitting the Guardians and have a hit in every inning. But they’ve stranded all those base runners and trail 4-0 after five on the South Side.
Baseball ... Sox have been struggling mightily with RISP. Now they lead 3-0. Two runs came in on a popup that landed in fair territory in right field and bounced into the stands for a double by Rafaela and then a wild pitch.
Sox are 9-6 in their last 15, looking to bump that up to 10-6 with a win today, which would complete a four-game sweep of the Guardians and extend their winning streak to five. Michael Soroka leads ‘em out onto the field. It’s baseball o’clock on Mother’s Day. Play ball.
Paul Sullivan writes: "After starting 3-22, it looked as if their rebuild was going nowhere. But the White Sox have played much better the last two weeks, going 9-6 and getting solid starting pitching from Erick Fedde, Garrett Crochet and Chris Flexen" https://t.co/WWK2ZsakRY

Nicky Lopez and Martin Maldonado both got a hit in the same inning. The White Sox are winning the World Series.
White Sox 8-9 hitters (Lopez and Maldonado) drive in the first two runs of the game.
