CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians were forced to go to their bullpens after rain caused a 2-hour, 23-minute delay just ahead of the second inning on Sunday at Rate Field.
When the game resumed, the Sox turned to 2024 first-round draft pick Hagen Smith.
The lefty struck out three and walked four over two scoreless innings in his major-league debut, aiding the Sox in a 5-3 victory in front of 31,263.
Colson Montgomery hit a tiebreaking, three-run home run during a four-run third inning for the Sox, who won two of three in the important series. With the victory, the first-place Sox (61-56) hold a 3 1/2 game lead over the second-place Detroit Tigers (58-60) in the American League Central. The Guardians (58-61) and Minnesota Twins (58-61) are both four games back.
The Sox also surpassed their win total from last season (60-102).
