Chicago White Sox ace Tristan Peters unleashed an 18-pitch at-bat that set the stage for a six-run sixth inning and led the team to a 7-3 victory over Cleveland Guardians on Monday night. Peters' lengthy plate appearance, the longest in MLB this season and tied for third longest since 2000, included 12 fouled-off pitches and ultimately resulted in a walk.
Kyle Teel drove in two runs with a two-run double, while Miguel Vargas added a two-run homer, both crucial hits following Chicago's six-run burst. The White Sox, who finished last in 2025 and lost 102 games, stayed atop the AL Central after the opener of the showdown series, extending their lead over the Guardians to 1 1/2 games.
Sean Burke held the Guardians in check with a 9-7 record, allowing no earned runs in five innings. Chicago, leading the division since July 4, now holds a tiebreaker over Cleveland with a 7-4 series record.
