The White Sox needed a sweep to have a chance at surpassing the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central. Instead, they were swept. Now a team that had World Series aspirations is on the brink of missing the postseason.
“We’ve had our spurts of playing really good baseball, but it just wasn’t consistent enough,” right fielder Gavin Sheets said after Thursday’s loss. “It doesn’t come down to these three games for sure. I think we all would agree that we should have played better baseball, and it’s frustrating.”But they had a chance to get within one game in the division heading into the Guardians series if they would have won all three. And they didn’t get the job done.1.
The Sox rallied in the 10th, matching the Guardians’ two runs with two against top-notch closer Emmanuel Clase. But the Guardians pulled away in a five-run 11th, with the team’s final run coming when Amed Rosario stole third and scored on catcher Seby Zavala’s throwing error.
Rosario set the tone Wednesday, grounding to third and beating Moncada’s throw to first. Rosario didn’t score, but it was an example of the pressure the Guardians apply on each play. José Ramírez reached on an infield hit in the first, moved to third on a single and scored on a bunt single by Giménez.
