The Chicago White Sox have accomplished a remarkable feat in the 2026 MLB playoffs, not experienced since their 2005 World Series victory. The South Siders recently emerged victorious in the American League Wild Card Round by sweeping the Houston Astros. In the ALDS, the White Sox will face their divisional rivals, the Cleveland Guardians.
Jesse Rogers of ESPN noted that the White Sox have not won a playoff series since defeating the Astros in the 2005 World Series, with only the Cincinnati Reds (1995) having a longer active postseason drought. ESPN's Jesse Rogers commented, "The Sox are 3 outs away from their magical ride continuing."
In Game 1, the White Sox swept the Astros, winning 6-3 in the opening game and completing a sweep with a 7-3 victory at Daikin Park in Houston on Wednesday. The turning point came in the sixth inning when White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth hit a three-run home run, stretching Chicago's lead to 7-3.
