Kwan Drives in Go-Ahead Run in 10th, Makes Sliding Catch in Bottom Half as Guardians Beat White Sox

Al Arabiya6 days ago
Steven Kwan knocked in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and made a sliding catch to help prevent a run from scoring in the bottom of the inning as the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 6-5 on Sunday. Kwan's fly off Brandon Eisert (2-2) scored automatic runner Angel Martínez. Kwan covered a lot of ground in left field and made a catch just inside the foul line on a fly ball by Mike Tauchman leading off the 10th. Kyle Manzardo hit his 15th homer–a three-run shot off Aaron Civale, the player he was traded for in June–to cap a four-run sixth and give Cleveland a 4-3 lead. Brayan Rocchio doubled with one out and scored on a force out by José Ramírez for the first run. Austin Slater hit his fourth home run, a leadoff shot off Joey Cantillo in the fourth, to put the White Sox ahead 1-0. Michael A. Taylor's sac fly and Slater's RBI single extended the lead to 3-0 in the fifth. Andrew Benintendi hit his 11th home run, a solo shot off Cantillo, to tie it at 4 in the sixth. Kwan drew a walk in the eighth off Grant Taylor, took third on a single by Nolan Jones, and scored on Ramírez's sac fly for a 5-4 lead. Edgar Quero doubled in the eighth, and pinch-runner Will Robertson scored on Luis Robert Jr.'s two-out double to tie it 5-all. Cantillo allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings with six strikeouts. Closer Emmanuel Clase (5-2) didn't allow a hit in the final two innings as Cleveland won three of four in the series.
Key moment: Civale allowed only a bunt single by Rocchio through the first five innings before two hits and two walks led to the four-run sixth. Key stat: The all-time series between the AL Central rivals is even at 1130-1130 with 17 ties.
Up next: After the All-Star break, the Guardians host the Athletics, and Chicago is at Pittsburgh, both on Friday.

All-Star Pete Crow-Armstrong hit his 26th homer, one of five solo shots for the Cubs, to back seven sharp innings by Shota Imanaga, and Chicago beat the Boston Red Sox 6-0 on Saturday night. Michael Busch, Kyle Tucker, Matt Shaw, and Ian Happ also connected for the Cubs, who moved a season-best 20 games over .500 and have the best record in the majors at 59-39. Imanaga (7-3) allowed five hits, struck out five, walked one, and lowered his ERA to 2.40. The 31-year-old second-year left-hander from Japan improved to 22-6 in the majors. Busch and Tucker led off the game with back-to-back homers against Brayan Bello (6-4). Shaw had a pinch-hit homer in the seventh against reliever Chris Murphy, and Crow-Armstrong and Happ went back-to-back against Murphy in the eighth. Brad Keller struck out the side in the eighth, and Ryan Brasier worked the ninth for his first save since 2023 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Key moment: With two outs in the seventh, Imanaga allowed back-to-back singles to Masataka Yoshida and Abraham Toro, and Yoshida took third on Imanaga's throwing error. Imanaga induced a shallow fly ball from Connor Wong to end the inning. Key stat: The Cubs went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position.

Lionel Messi and Telasco Segovia each score 2 goals as Inter Miami beat the Red Bulls 5-1

Lionel Messi had two goals and two assists, Telasco Segovia also scored twice, and Inter Miami beat the New York Red Bulls 5-1 on Saturday night. It was Messi's sixth multi-goal game in his last seven matches. Messi became the fifth player in MLS history to record at least 35 goals and 25 assists over a two-year span, joining Robbie Keane (2013-14), Sebastian Giovinco (2015-16), Carlos Vela (2018-19), and Cucho Hernández (2023-24). Miami scored two goals in three minutes midway through the first half to take the lead. Messi's beautiful pass to Jordi Alba tied it at 1-all in the 24th minute. Then Messi's lofted pass over the defense led to Segovia's first goal. Messi scored on a breakaway in the 60th, and he chested down Luis Suárez's pass for a left-footed blast in the 75th for his 18th goal of the season. Miami (12-4-5) has dominated the past three matchups with the Red Bulls, winning 6-2 on May 3, 2024, and 4-1 on May 3, 2025. New York (9-9-6) lost for just the second time at home this season, dropping to 8-2-2. The Red Bulls' 26 points through their first 11 home matches this season had ranked second in franchise history. It was the most goals allowed by New York this season.

Athletics Get Late Homers From Langeliers, Wilson And Kurtz In 8-2 Win Over Guardians

Shea Langeliers, Jacob Wilson, and Nick Kurtz homered in the final two innings to help the Athletics pull away for an 8-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday night. Luis Severino (3-11) gave up three hits in five innings for the win–allowing only José Ramírez's two-run homer in the third. All three of Severino's wins have come on the road. Jack Perkins struck out three in three scoreless innings, and Justin Sterner pitched the ninth to close it out. Nolan Jones had a two-out single off Severino in the third before scoring on Ramírez's 19th home run for a 2-0 lead. Ramírez is 6 for 14 with four homers against Severino in his career. Brent Rooker, Kurtz, and Langeliers hit three straight doubles to start the fourth against Logan Allen (6-8), tying the score. Miguel Andujar singled for a fourth consecutive A's hit and a 3-2 lead. Allen allowed three runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Kurtz led off the eighth against Nic Enright with another double, and Langeliers followed with his 14th homer for a 5-2 advantage. Denzel Clarke tripled with one out in the ninth and finished a homer shy of the cycle. Wilson followed with his 10th homer, and Kurtz capped the scoring with his 18th, which leads all rookies. Enright gave up two runs on three hits and retired four batters. Kolby Allard allowed both homers in the ninth. Key moment: Langeliers hit a 0-2 pitch from Enright for an opposite-field homer to right to give the A's a three-run cushion. Key stat: Cleveland has won 20 of the last 25 matchups with the Athletics. Up next: Athletics LHP Jeffrey Springs (8-6, 3.93 ERA) starts Sunday opposite Guardians RHP Gavin Williams (5-4, 3.70).
