It was a bitter cold day in Ohio for their home opener, though Cleveland Guardians fans would be treated to the Chicago White Sox blowing yet another game. The pitchers were the stars of the show for both teams, but the South Siders walked in the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to lose to the Guardians, 1-0.
Shane Smith made his second start of 2025, and he was even better than his season opener last week. He threw his fastball for 35 of his 83 pitches, and it was on point — topping out at 96.
