Colson Montgomery hits 3-run homer and White Sox top Guardians 5-3 to increase AL Central lead
Chicago White Sox secured a 5-3 victory against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday, extending their lead in the AL Central to 3.5 games over second-place Detroit. Colson Montgomery's 26th home run, a three-run homer, capped the White Sox's four-run third inning. The game was delayed by rain for 2 hours and 23 minutes after the first inning, with the Guardians leading 2-1.
In relief, White Sox left-hander Hagen Smith made his major league debut, taking the hill in the second and posting a scoreless inning. After Brayan Rocchio lined out to third to end a potential rally, Trevor Richards, the sixth reliever for Chicago, allowed one run in the ninth on walks and a sacrifice fly, but still earned his third career save.
