White Sox sweep Astros for first playoff series win in 21 years, Guardians next

The Chicago White Sox secured their initial postseason series triumph in over two decades by completing a sweep of the Houston Astros with a 7-3 victory on Wednesday. The squad jumped out to a four-run advantage in the opening frame before Houston narrowed the gap via solo home runs from Jeremy Pena, Cam Smith, and Jose Altuve.

A three-run homer by Chase Meidroth subsequently sealed the outcome, while relief pitchers Huascar Brazoban, Anthony Kay, Jordan Hicks, and Erick Fedde combined for five scoreless innings to advance the club to the American League Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians.
