Amid dealing with the rain, a double-header, and extra innings, the White Sox managed to pull off the win with a Mike Tauchman walk-off.

Mike Tauchman drove in Colson Montgomery with an infield single in the 11th inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-4 to salvage a doubleheader split.

Nolan Jones opened the inning with a single to left. Kyle Manzardo reached on a bunt single to move Jones to second. Martinez doubled past first for the lead and it looked like the Guardians were in a great spot to extend the lead with Manzardo at third, Martinez at second and one out. But appearances can be deceiving.

Elko was removed after the fourth inning of Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with right knee soreness.

In this week’s “Polling Place,” your home for Sun-Times sports polls on the social platform X, we asked if you’d take a Cubs wild-card berth right now or if you’re holding out for a division title. “Settle for a wild-card spot? Heck, yes, like a drowning man ‘settling’ for some oxygen,” @RonaldVoigt4 commented.

For a guy who loved being on the mound, Buehrle kind of hates attention. “I was literally nervous as can be all day today."

Chicago White Sox director of amateur scouting Mike Shirley provided a preview of the MLB draft, which begins Sunday. The Sox have the No. 10 pick in the first round.

As the Chicago White prepare to celebrate the past this weekend with the statue ceremony for Mark Buehrle and the 20th reunion of the 2005 World Series champions, the future remains a guessing game. Will the Sox be able to deal struggling star Luis Robert Jr.
