Guardians take brutal walk-off loss to White Sox

The Cleveland Guardians were one out away from a wild comeback win Monday night, but Sam Antonacci flipped the ending. The Guardians vs. Chicago White Sox matchup turned brutal when Chicago rallied for a 6-5 walk-off victory at Rate Field.

The Guardians held a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth after working through a chaotic inning. Patrick Bailey delivered the go-ahead RBI single after the Guardians were given new life late in the game by a series of walks and a costly wild pitch.

That put Cade Smith in charge of the game. The closer entered with a chance to finish a hard-earned road win, but the White Sox immediately applied pressure.

Smith walked Braden Montgomery, then allowed a key double to Tristan Peters. He still battled back, striking out Jacob Gonzalez for the second out and moving the Guardians within one pitch of escaping with a win.

White Sox on CHSN shared the decisive moment on X, formerly Twitter, after the rookie came through with a two-out, two-run single to finish the comeback.
