Game Thread: White Sox vs. Guardians
The battle of the American League Central
It’s time for the first American League Central matchup of the year! The Guardians have been on a similar but slightly-better trajectory than the White Sox, sitting at 1-4 after finishing last season at the top of the American League Central.
Martín Pérez gets the start for the White Sox this afternoon. Pérez has spent 13 years in the big leagues, including nine seasons with the Rangers, and finalized a one-year, $5 million deal with the White Sox late last month.

The Chicago lineup, at least the top half, has an “Opening Day” flavor, with key bats. Let that sink in for a minute.
Logan Allen will be starting for the Guardians. Allen was signed by Cleveland in 2020 and has spent his career between the Columbus Clippers and Cleveland.
