Guardians Come to Life on the South Side; Take Game 3 to Stay Alive

The Cleveland Guardians rallied in Game 3 of the ALDS in Chicago, defeating the White Sox 9-3 after dropping the first two contests. Cleveland recorded 11 hits, more than the combined total of the opening games, and drove in nine runs while limiting Chicago to three.

Jose Ramirez contributed a steal of third base in the fifth inning, adding to the offensive surge that featured four hits with runners in scoring position, a series first.

Pitching decisions highlighted the night, with Daniel Espino starting before being replaced by Foster Griffin, who delivered a dominant 2.2 innings of work and struck out seven batters. Joey Cantillo, who had been dominant entering the playoffs, was also referenced as a key arm in the Guardians’ rotation.
