CHICAGO (AP) — Carlos Santana drove in four runs and rookie C.J. Kayfus added a three-run double as the Cleveland Guardians extended their winning streak to four games with a 9-5 win over the Chicago 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.
