Chicago Sports Recap: 5/22/23

Chicago White SoxChicago White Sox 0 – Cleveland Guardians 3

Highlights:  Mike Zunino’s critics have been silenced — for a day or two. Mired in a miserable slump in May, Zunino connected for a two-run homer in the eighth inning to help Hunter Gaddis get his first major league win and lead the Cleveland Guardians over the Chicago White Sox 3-0 on Monday night. Zunino was just 1 for 31 with 21 strikeouts this month — he recently struck out in 17 straight games — before delivering his biggest moment since signing a $6 million, one-year contract with Cleveland as a free agent in the offseason. With the Guardians, who have played an MLB-high 22 one-run games, clinging to a 1-0 lead and rookie Gabriel Arias on first with two outs, Zunino drove a pitch from Gregory Santos to right.
