He's on for his eighth start, ninth appearance looking for his first win with a fine er, a of 329 stephen Kwan now batting 288 line drive base hit right up the middle for Stephen Kwan little by little. He's starting to find it. Andresen batting 254 slider is low but he went and that's a strikeout. Bill Miller rings him up and Jose ramirez. Jose is hit in each of his last three games right back up the middle off the glove of Davis and jose is going to beat it out for an infield single Mart-n stuck his glove out there but couldn't corral it, Josh Naylor coming up high, fly ball deep, center field, robert moving over , he's got room will retreat and tag will get to third. Ramirez stayed at first and there are two down. Now, Lane Thomas, he'll get a chance with two outs to give Cleveland the early lead pitches down low and ramirez steals the base. Uncontested is 38 on the year. So now a chance to drive in two for Thomas tops it play. He's going to get it. The throw to first. Guardians will score two. Jose Ramirez came racing around third. Never broke stride. And on an infield single, it's 2 to 0. Cleveland. That's just flat out good. Hustle a two run infield single. That's a rare play. One of the best teams in major league baseball when they score first at 52 and 15 runner goes, throw down to second. It's in time a great throw by Chuckie Robinson that will end the inning, but the Guardians are out front 20 with the White Sox coming to bat. Well, Matthew Boyd will be our starting pitcher and he's making his sixth start and he's been outstanding in those 6, 28 and two thirds innings. Just 17 hits allowed. Been throwing a lot of strikes and composed and letting that defense work struck him out on three pitches to start the game. Here's Luis Robert Jr him out on three pitches, six pitches, two strikeouts. They've been trying to keep it in on Roberts all series long. They've done a really nice job. Here is Brian Ramos for Chicago. There's a base hit for Ramos two out single now, andrew Vaughn, they had him picked it. First ball gets away and down to second base goes Ramos, he was dead to right. Matthew Boyd has thrown 14 pitches in the inning. 13 strikes swung out and missed , he got him with the changeup. Boyd strikes out three in the first, Leine Sosa leads off the sox second swing and a miss, he strikes him out four outs strikeouts for Matthew Boyd. He's back at his normal throwing that changeup getting him out front. Jake Amaya is the ninth place hitter for Chicago with two on and two out curve ball ring him up five strikeouts for Matthew Boyd 2 to 0 Guardians through two in Chicago, Boston Hedges. The start behind the plate today leads off to third. Hedges drives one to deep left field. Will the white sox bullpen Austin Hedges with his second home run of the season and it's 3 to 0. Cleveland bang. He got one and I'm sure it felt beautiful. He's looking at it. He's posing. Hedges last home run came back on May the fourth. He drives that one up out of here and Cleveland now with a three run lead in the third after the homer a walk byMart-n. Mart-n. Here's Andresen struck out his first time up the 12 swinging a high topper to first handled on the grass by Vaughn goes to the bag and didn't beat Jimenez. Jimenez hustled Vaughn and the Guardians have two on with nobody out. He was going back to the bag and Jimenez with his hair on fire, beat him to the bag at 2nd and 3rd 2 down. Now the infield drops back for lane Thomas. He got that two out two run infield single back in the first try to find the hole on the right side. A diving stop by Sousa his throw not in time, they score 21. He's got two infield singles and four runs batted in. That is unbelievable. I don't know if that's ever happened twice to the same guy in one game. That's not good luck. That's just good hustle by your teammates. And this is the kind of ball game we have seen Cleveland play all season long that has the opposition just shaking their heads. This is the 39th pitch of the inning. This should get him out of it. Ditches the mask and the first baseman Vaughn comes in to make the catch second time through the order. Corey jolts line drive base hit by Jimenez just couldn't get there. That's the second hit for the Sox robert Jr hits for the second time. Weak ground ball to second. Jimenez will get the lead runner. Noan could not come up with the flip. It was a little lower. It looked like Jimenez couldn't get anything on it. He probably should have just went to first base because that , that flip, he didn't get it up in the air. A big break for the Sox. Here's Ramos right field, john Kensey got turned around and he can't make the play, but the runners are only gonna advance one base and the bases are going to be loaded with nobody out. So the runners, uh he sort of decoyed the runners bases stay loaded. Now, one down for Laine soa for a base hit jokes will score and Robert will have to hold. So they're on the board, but again, kind of only able to go station to station here on these last couple of hits that just barely cleared the glove of Jimenez bases loaded. One out Miguel Vargas. Oh boy, that's a, nobody was at first and boy was, he just had a brain cramp. He did, can't to first and it forces home a run. It's 5 to 2 up the middle. Jimenez long throw to first in time and he got him and another run scores and now it's 5 to 3 and now this has turned into a long inning for Boyd and the error really opens up the door for Chicago. Here's Dominic Fletcher. It hit Boyd and another one will score. The White Sox have made it a one run game on an infield RB I single by Fletcher. This has been a really strange third inning. There's been seven runs scored in this third inning between the two teams and miscues of plenty on both sides swing and a miss. He struck him out to end the inning, but the White Sox have made it a game again. Andres Jimenez with two out and two on goes to the backstop and both runners will advance. That's a big play there stayed out there and struck him out. Guardian strand a pair. Matthew Boyd back to work for the Guardians bottom of the fifth. He's facing andrew Vaughn swaying and a Miss Vaughn strikes out on the breaking ball nine on the afternoon, Sousa and RBI single in the third. So turns on the hitting against the Cleveland staff. That's a double disappointed. Matthew Boyd will depart. You know how badly he wanted to get his team through this fifth inning, but it wasn't to be today. He strikes out nine but he leads with the Guardians up one Sandlin seven on the season. This is 63rd appearance as er, a 3.88. Here's the 22 to Vargas swing and a miss strike three, got him to chase the hard stuff upstairs two down in the inning. Big strikeout for that one to right field. John Kensey Noel will make the catch White Sox strand a runner in scoring position. Here's Andre Simens one for three with an infield hit Cleveland hasn't scored since they took a 50 lead in the third , smacked up the alley and right side field that will get down. It's cut off by Fletcher the throw to second. It's a close play and he came off the bag and he's out. What a great job by Fletcher to get a throw off on the money. And the Guardians now have runners at the corners with one out looking to add to a one run lead, just what the doctor ordered. Brennan has batted 313 for the year with runners in scoring position, chopped off the plate. Only play for is at first that gets a run home to make it 642 down in the inning, but Brennan gets the job done. You put it in play, you get the run home and Cleveland pitchers have now today struck out 17 and the last hope for the White Sox is andrew Vaughn their most dangerous and complete hitter. A slider on the outside corner completes the sweep for Cleveland save number 44 for Emmanuel.
