Guardians Defeat White Sox 9-3 to Avoid Elimination

In a crucial Game 3 of the AL Division Series, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Chicago White Sox 9-3, preventing a sweep. Jo Adell and José Ramírez each contributed significant two-out triples, helping the Guardians secure the win.

Adell's three-run triple in the third inning put Cleveland ahead 4-1, while Ramírez added another triple in the eighth, driving in two runs for a 7-3 lead. This marked the first time in franchise history that the Guardians recorded two triples in a postseason game.

Despite a strong start from the White Sox, who had a crowd of 40,590 for their first home playoff game since 2021, they struggled offensively, striking out 19 times and failing to capitalize with runners in scoring position. Cleveland's Parker Messick is set to start in Game 4, while Chicago has yet to announce its pitching plans.
