Guardians rely on relief pitching as game against White Sox continues

The Cleveland Guardians faced the Chicago White Sox on September 15, 2026, in an ongoing game at Progressive Field. The White Sox utilized left-handed relief pitcher Chris Murphy, who struggled early, allowing back-to-back home runs to Adell and Bazzana. Despite a lackluster offensive effort from the Guardians, manager Steve Vogt called on relief pitchers Cade Smith, Hunter Gaddis, and others earlier than usual in pursuit of a critical win for playoff positioning. As the game unfolds, the Guardians aim to overcome the deficit while keeping playoff hopes alive.
