Guardians Defeat White Sox 9-3 to Avoid ALDS Elimination

The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Chicago White Sox 9-3 in Game 3 of the AL Division Series on Wednesday, preventing a sweep. Jo Adell and José Ramírez each contributed significantly with two-out triples, helping the Guardians take control of the game.

Adell's three-run triple in the third inning established a 4-1 lead for Cleveland, while Ramírez added another triple in the eighth, driving in two more runs. This marked the first time in franchise history that the Guardians recorded two triples in a postseason game.

The White Sox, who had a strong start to the postseason, struggled offensively, striking out 19 times and failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Cleveland's pitcher Daniel Espino managed to limit the damage after an early run by Chicago, and the Guardians will look to continue their momentum with Parker Messick starting in Game 4.
