CLEVELAND -- Brayan Rocchio delivered another walk-off hit, leading the Guardians to a 7-6 win over the Chicago White Sox with a two-out, two-strike base hit down the left-field line in the ninth inning. The hit plated two runs, scoring Daniel Schneemann and David Fry after rookie Sam Antonacci lost the ball.\n\nIt was Rocchio's major league-best fourth walk-off hit this season, all against AL Central foes. He's tied for the most walk-off hits against division opponents in a season in the past 50 years. "These games are meaningful," closer Cade Smith said, noting the Guardians are back within a half-game of first-place Chicago.\n\nGuardian fans chanted Rocchio's name, inspiring another clutch performance. "That's the best thing ever in my life," Rocchio said.

The win carries playoff implications as Cleveland faces the White Sox in the season series finale, needing to leapfrog them for the division title due to the tiebreaker.
