Also on Friday, the White Sox debuted “45” uniform patches in honor of late closer Bobby Jenks. They will wear them for the remainder of the season.

A World Series champion and two-time All-Star, Jenks died Friday in Sintra, Portugal, where he was being treated for adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer. He was 44.

Jenks was on the mound for the final out in Game 4 of the 2005 World Series at Houston, giving Chicago its first title since 1917.

The opener of a four-game series between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox on Thursday night was postponed because of rain. It was made up as part of a split doubleheader on Friday.

As of Thursday, Cleveland was fourth in the AL Central at 43-48. The Guardians swept three games at Houston after losing 10 in a row. Chicago was last in the American League at 31-62.
