CLEVELAND (AP) — Khalil Watson singled home the winning run in the 10th inning and the Cleveland Guardians rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night to move into first place in the AL Central.
It was Cleveland's second consecutive walk-off win to begin a four-game series between the top two teams in the division.
Steven Kwan began the bottom of the 10th as the automatic runner on second base. He moved to third on Travis Bazzana's single to left field and scored on Watson's base hit up the middle off Sean Newcomb (0-2).
It was the first walk-off hit for Watson, called up June 17 from Triple-A Columbus. The rookie has nine RBIs in 15 games.
Eric Sabrowski (3-1) got the win after retiring the White Sox in order in the top of the 10th. The Guardians' bullpen has given up only two hits in 9 1/3 scoreless innings over the past two games against Chicago.
