The Chicago White Sox defeat the Cleveland Guardians to take a 2-0 series lead in the ALDS.

The White Sox have returned to Chicago on their way to their first American League Championship Series appearance in 21 years. The team defeated the Cleveland Guardians 4-3 in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Monday, taking a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series. The victory came after the White Sox rallied with a three-run sixth inning, led by Braden Montgomery's two-run double.
