C.J. Kayfus and Jhonkensy Noel homered, helping Parker Messick and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Saturday night. Kayfus connected for a two-run shot in the second against Davis Martin (6-10).

The White Sox exceeded (very low) expectations and two of our Chicago writers examine where they fit in the Chicago-disappointment pantheon.

Tanner Bibee delivers Cleveland's first complete game shutout at home since 2019 and joins rare company in franchise history.

The last time the White Sox played at Progressive Field, their roster looked a little different. Mike Clevinger was working out of the bullpen. Matt Thaiss was seeing time at catcher. Austin Slater hadn’t been traded away.

It wasn't all smooth this season, though, as Altavilla exercised the opt-out clause in his contract in March and then re-signed on a minor league deal a few days later. He was then released by the White Sox again in May without making a major league appearance, but then re-signed, this time on a major league contract.
