Murakami homers, White Sox pitchers stifle Guardians in ALDS win
Munetaka Murakami sent the Cleveland Guardians reeling with a two-run homer, as the Chicago White Sox secured a 3-0 victory in Game 1 of their AL Division Series. A trifecta of pitching from the White Sox shut down the Guardians, contributing to their sweep of Houston in the wild card series. The White Sox, who have won nine of their last 11 games, advanced to the division series.
Chicago's Bryan Hudson took the win, and Grant Taylor secured the victory with a save, allowing just two hits and striking out six over four innings.
