After a 21-year playoff drought, the Chicago White Sox have finally secured their first postseason series win since 2005, sweeping the Houston Astros in a best-of-three American League wild-card series. The White Sox now face the Cleveland Guardians in a best-of-five AL Division Series, kicking off on Saturday in Cleveland.
The Guardians, who won their third consecutive AL Central title and seventh in 11 years, claimed the No. 2 seed in the American League and secured a first-round bye. The White Sox, as the sixth-seeded team, defeated the Guardians 7-6 in the wild-card series, earning a 2-2-1 format in the division series.
In the first matchup, the White Sox dominated with a 7-6 victory, winning Game 1 on Tuesday and Game 2 on Wednesday. Colson Montgomery and Chase Meidroth were standout performers for the Sox, hitting home runs in the respective games. Despite losing more than 100 games each of the past three seasons, the White Sox's improbable playoff run and a papal promotion have made them a marketing success.
