Mike Tauchman drove in Colson Montgomery with an infield single in the 11th inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-4 to salvage a doubleheader split.

Amazingly, the White Sox struck back once more, but only to tie. With Kyle Teel (walk) on third and Colson Montgomery (single) on first, Josh Rojas lifted a deep fly to left with one out that tallied Teel. But nothing more could come of the rally.

Nolan Jones opened the inning with a single to left. Kyle Manzardo reached on a bunt single to move Jones to second. Martinez doubled past first for the lead and it looked like the Guardians were in a great spot to extend the lead with Manzardo at third, Martinez at second and one out. But appearances can be deceiving.

Buehrle, 46, played for Chicago for the first 12 of his 16 seasons in the majors. Known for working quickly with pinpoint control, he went 161-119 with a 3.83 ERA in 390 appearances with the White Sox, including 365 starts. He had his number retired by the team in 2017.
