Story summary
Guardians pitchers combined for a nine-inning postseason record of 21 strikeouts in Game 5 of their American League Division Series (ALDS) against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night, winning the game 2-0. Gavin Williams started for Cleveland and struck out 12 batters, while José Ramírez provided the only runs needed with a go-ahead home run in the fourth inning. The Guardians completed an improbable comeback from being down 2-0 to advance to the AL Championship Series against Tampa Bay on Monday night. This was the first time since 2017 that a team came back from a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five series, and only the second instance of such a feat since 1900. The White Sox were held to just three hits and finished with a batting average of .185 over the five-game series. Despite their struggles at the plate, Chicago still managed a .235 average from Ramírez who improved his performance in the final games after starting 0-for-6 in the series. With this victory, Cleveland aims to secure its first World Series appearance since 2016 and end the longest drought among MLB teams without a title (since 1948). The Guardians will face the Tampa Bay Rays for a chance at reaching the World Series.

Yes, their homestand was disappointing — Chicago’s depleted pitching staff came up short and the team lost 9-3 and 9-5 in Games 3 and 4 at Rate Field after the Guardians got their act together — but tonight’s contest is winner-takes-all.
