Story summary

The Chicago White Sox lead the Cleveland Guardians 2-0 in their best-of-five AL Division Series, with Game 3 set for Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. The last time the White Sox clinched a postseason series at home was in 1906. Cleveland is determined to avoid being part of this historic moment and continues to have faith despite trailing; third baseman José Ramírez emphasized the need to win another game. Chicago's pitching, especially their bullpen, has been crucial, with Sean Newcomb working two scoreless innings after Anthony Kay started Game 2. For Game 3, White Sox will pitch left-hander Sean Newcomb while Cleveland counters with Daniel Espino. The matchup is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET on TBS, and fans are encouraged to wear black as part of the team's blackout theme.
