Wake-up call! Adell's bases-clearing triple jolts Guardians' bats

Jo Adell delivered a clutch postseason performance for the Cleveland Guardians, hitting a game-tying triple in the fourth inning to silence a charged crowd at Guaranteed Rate Field. The left-handed slugger drove in a run with a 413-foot Statcast-tracked blast off the 19-foot wall in Game 3, marking his first postseason triple and just the fourth such game-changing hit in franchise history.

Adell’s aggressive swing on a 95 mph fastball from White Sox starter Hagen Smith showcased his power and timing, earning a celebratory fist pump that resonated with Guardians fans after years of watching from the Angels’ bench. His two triples in three postseason games already tie him with Kenny Lofton for the most in a single series, underscoring his rapid impact since joining Cleveland midseason.

The moment arrived just as the Guardians sought momentum, with the team one win away from advancing to the ALCS before Adell’s heroics shifted the narrative.
