The Cleveland Guardians rallied from an 0-2 series deficit to eliminate the Chicago White Sox, capturing a 2-0 victory in Game 5 of the American League Division Series. By taking three consecutive elimination games, Cleveland earned a trip to the American League Championship Series to take on the Tampa Bay Rays.
Right-hander Gavin Williams led the charge from the mound, throwing 5 2/3 shutout innings and allowing only one hit. Williams struck out 12 hitters, matching a franchise playoff record, before Cleveland's relief corps sealed the shutout. In total, Guardians pitchers amassed 21 strikeouts, setting a new major league record for a nine-inning postseason game.
Offensively, Cleveland secured all the run support it needed in the fourth inning. Jose Ramirez connected on a low breaking ball from White Sox starter Sean Burke, driving a two-run home run to right field to provide the decisive margin.
