ICYMI: The Guardians staved off a series sweep with a win over the White Sox on Thursday afternoon.
this month by a Cleveland starting catcher when he singled off White Sox reliever Gregory Santos in the seventh to extend the Guardians’ lead. Guardians starting backstops had been 0 for 44 with 26 strikeouts in May before Gallagher’s hit.
Cleveland took the lead against Cease in the seventh when Will Brennan scored on a ground ball up the middle off the bat of Brayan Rocchio that Anderson could not field cleanly for an error. Brennan was at third after Arias’ one-out double put both runners in scoring position. Arias said afterward through Guardians interpreter Agustin Rivero that it was important for Cleveland to get a win before leaving town after dropping the first two games of the series.
Allen worked out of a jam in the second after loading the bases with nobody out on singles by Jake Burger and Yasmani Grandal and a walk to Andrew Benintendi. He finished a 10-pitch at-bat by getting Hanser Alberto to pop out softly to first base and then struck out Seby Zavala and Jake Marisnick. “That’s one thing with a lot of young pitchers, they come up here, stuff starts hitting the fan, their emotions kind of get the best of them and they kind of lose their control and command,” Gallagher said. “But I was keeping a close eye on him and he was cruising. He did a heck of a job and he kept himself composed and got out of that inning and without any runs.”
But the White Six broke through for their only run against Allen in the fourth, collecting a pair of hits on line drives that barely ticked off the gloves of Cleveland infielders.
