The Cleveland Guardians have advanced to the next round of the postseason after completing a comeback victory against the Chicago White Sox in their best-of-five American League Division Series (ALDS). After falling behind 0-2 early in the series, the Guardians won three consecutive games to secure the series victory.

In the deciding Game 5, Jose Ramirez hit a two-run home run that proved to be the difference-maker in the contest. The game was also notable for the performance of the Cleveland pitching staff, who recorded 21 strikeouts, setting a new record for the most strikeouts in a single postseason game. The victory sets up a matchup for the Guardians against the Tampa Bay Rays.
