Cleveland beats Chicago 8-2 after Venable's poor decision

Cleveland Guardians claimed an 8-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on August 7. Manager Will Venable's decision to remove pitcher Noah Schultz after just 23 pitches led to significant bullpen strain. The move allowed Angel Martínez to drive in six runs, including a decisive three-run home run. The White Sox utilized seven relievers during the game, further depleting their pitching resources after recent struggles. The team's next games become crucial as they face pressure to improve.
