White Sox Top Guardians, 8-6
The Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Guardians, 8-6, at Progressive Field. Byron Buxton, who finished 4th in the AL in extra base hits with 65 in 2017, was a standout performer for Chicago. His 3 hits included 2 singles and 1 double -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 2 he knocked in. Steve Peters claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 4-2. The victory gives the White Sox a record of 46-41.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Buxton delivered big-time for Chicago, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Bobby Young. The game-changing hit put the White Sox on top, 6-5.

In postgame comments, Buxton said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."
