The Chicago franchise secured its first playoff series triumph since the 2005 World Series by defeating Houston seven to three on Wednesday at Daikin Park, completing a two-game sweep in the American League Wild Card Series. The victors capitalized on defensive miscues to score four runs in the initial frame off opposing starting pitcher Hunter Brown, while Sean Burke struck out eight batters across four innings despite surrendering solo home runs to Jeremy Peña, Cam Smith, and Jose Altuve.

Chase Meidroth padded the lead with a sixth-inning home run, setting up an upcoming division series clash against the Cleveland Guardians.
