Manzardo has tiebreaking HR, Kwan adds 2 RBIs as Guardians beat White Sox 6-2

CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Manzardo hit a tiebreaking home run and All-Star Steven Kwan drove in two runs to help the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 6-2 on Saturday.

Manzardo’s solo shot in the sixth off reliever Jordan Leasure (2-5) gave the Guardians a 3-2 lead and helped Tanner Bibee secure his first win since May 22.

Kwan had a sacrifice fly in the seventh, and he and Jose Ramirez added RBI singles in the ninth as Cleveland won for the fifth time in six games.

Bibee (5-9) gave up two runs and six hits with two walks and five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Erik Sabrowski, Cade Smith and Matt Festa combined for 3 1/3 perfect innings to finish it.

Carlos Santana had an RBI single in the first and scored on Angel Martinez's sacrifice fly in the fourth to give the Guardians a 2-0 lead.

Rookie Kyle Teel had a two-run single for the White Sox to tie 2-2 in the bottom of the fourth.

Sean Burke allowed Cleveland’s first two runs, along with three hits, two walks and five strikeouts in five innings. The White Sox have dropped five of seven.

Twenty-three players and 2005 manager Ozzie Guillen were on the field before the game to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the club’s last World Series title. Chicago Archdiocese Cardinal Blase Cupich presented first baseman Paul Konerko with a No. 14 jersey autographed by Pope Leo XIV, a native of the city’s suburbs and longtime White Sox fan who attended Game 1 of the 2005 World Series.

The White Sox had four straight singles in the fifth, third of which tied the score. Bibee recovered with a strikeout of Colson Montgomery and got Josh Rojas to ground into a double play that ended the inning and kept it tied.

Ramirez won’t play in Tuesday’s All-Star game but still looked the part Saturday. He went 1 for 3 with two walks, and RBI, runs scored and three steals.

Guardians LHP Joey Cantillo (1-0, 3.79 ERA) faces White Sox RHP Aaron Civale (1-6, 5.17) on Sunday.

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.

A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.

Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.

The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”

Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.

Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
