Wild Card roundup: White Sox sweep while Cubs sleep

The opening round of the postseason featured three sweeps and one decisive series, highlighted by the Chicago White Sox eliminating Houston in two straight games for their first playoff series victory since 2005. Sam Antonacci, Kyle Teel, Miguel Vargas, and Munetaka Murakami sparked an early Game 1 lead, while Colson Montgomery launched a solo home run and pitchers Hagen Smith, Jordan Hicks, David Sandlin, and Grant Taylor sealed the six to three win.

In the second matchup, the visiting Chicago squad jumped out to a four run advantage in the opening frame against starting pitcher Hunter Brown, eventually holding off a comeback attempt to secure a seven to three triumph.
