Santana drives in 4, Kayfus knocks in 3 to lead Guardians past White Sox 9-5 for 4th straight win

Carlos Santana drove in four runs and rookie C.J. Kayfus added a 3-run double as the Cleveland Guardians extended their winning streak to four games with a 9-5 win over the White Sox on Friday night.

Daniel Schneemann drew a one-out walk off Aaron Civale (3-7) in the first inning and José Ramírez doubled him to third. Kyle Manzardo was hit by a pitch before Santana doubled for a 2-0 lead. Bo Naylor walked with two outs to load the bases before Kayfus doubled for a 5-0 lead.

Manzardo doubled leading off the third before scoring on a single by Santana, extending the lead to 6-0. Kayfus doubled leading off the fourth before scoring on a balk and Schneemann chased Civale with an RBI single. Santana made it 9-1 with a bases-loaded walk off Mike Vasil.

Civale gave up nine runs on eight hits in 3⅓ after entering with 15 straight scoreless innings.

Brooks Baldwin hit his seventh homer — a solo shot off Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee (8-9) in the third to cut it to 6-1.

Bibee allowed four runs on five hits and four walks in 5⅓ innings. He left after Curtis Mead's 2-run single. Matt Festa got the final two outs in the sixth and Jakob Junis allowed a run in the seventh. Erik Sabrowski and Cade Smith each pitched a scoreless inning to finish.

Cleveland (60-55) has won eight of 11 and four straight on the road after coming off a three-game sweep of the Mets.

Chicago (42-74) has lost five in a row and eight of its last 12.
