Guardians vs. White Sox live updates, lineups, where to watch: Parker Messick, Hagen Smith to start Game 4

The Guardians were down 2-0 in the ALDS. They can tie the series in Game 4.

Game 4 of the ALDS is set to take place Thursday night as the Chicago White Sox host the Cleveland Guardians at Guaranteed Rate Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. The White Sox trail the Guardians 2-1 in the series and are one win away from advancing to the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2005. The White Sox took a 3-2 series lead after winning the first two games 7-3, but fell short in Game 3.

In the previous outing, the Guardians made their offensive mark with Jo Adell's bases-clearing triple in the third inning and José Ramírez's two-run triple in the eighth. This led to the Guardians' series-clinching 9-3 victory. Cleveland's starting pitcher for Game 4 will be left-hander Parker Messick, who enters fresh with a 12-9 record and a 2.56 ERA. Messick threw four hits and two earned runs over 4 1/3 innings in Game 1, striking out six.

The White Sox will be relying on left-hander Hagen Smith to send the first pitch. Smith is looking to start his second series game after taking the loss in Game 1. He will be throwing 2 2/3 hitless innings, striking out four, and walking three batters, as he did in Game 1.
