Sixth-inning rally gives White Sox 2-0 ALDS lead on Guardians
Rookie slugger Munetaka Murakami got the White Sox on the board in the fourth with a sharp single to right that scored Kyle Teel.
Sean Burke's pitching performance set a new White Sox postseason record, leading the team to a nail-biting 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians. David Williams, Cleveland's righthander, initially made Chicago's lineup look outmatched, striking out 11 batters and piling up strikeouts while the South Siders missed opportunities.
However, when Williams was replaced in the sixth inning, Chicago was ready to capitalize on their chances. Braden Montgomery's two-run double, Chase Meidroth's crucial insurance run, and Sean Burke's record-breaking pitching performance all contributed to the White Sox's lead. The win gave the South Siders a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five ALDS, putting them in a strong position to clinch the championship in front of their home crowd.
