Guardians Outlast White Sox

In a game heard in progress on WHOW, Bo Naylor and Josh Naylor delivered RBI hits in the 10th inning - after the brothers connected for home runs earlier - as the Cleveland Guardians rallied for a 7-6 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night.

 

Josh Naylor tied it with an RBI double before turning it over to his brother - on National Siblings Day.

 

With the bases loaded, Bo Naylor, who hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning - just moments after his brother connected for one - dropped his single into right field off former Guardians reliever Bryan Shaw (0-1) as Cleveland came back after trailing 5-0.

 

The White Sox fell to 2-10 amid a rash of major injuries.

 

Gavin Sheets hit a three-run homer and had five RBIs for Chicago.

 

 

Before the game, the White Sox learned they'll be without third baseman Yoán Moncada for at least three months, and maybe the rest of this season. He sustained a severe leg injury while running to first base Tuesday.

 

The injury was another blow to Chicago's lineup, which has lost its 2-3-4 hitters - Moncada, outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip flexor) and slugger Eloy Jimenez - to injuries during its first road trip.

 

The White Sox open a three-game series Friday with Cincinnati. Reds LHP Andrew Abbott (0-1, 3.48 ERA) starts the opener against RHP Chris Flexen (0-2, 5.91).
