The Chicago White Sox are one win away from the ALCS after a 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2. The win marked their fourth consecutive playoff victory and gives them a commanding lead in the series. They return to Rate Field for Game 3, where they can clinch the series before their home fans. A win would also break a 120-year streak, as the last time they clinched a playoff series at home was in 1906. They have two opportunities to achieve this milestone, with Game 4 also in Chicago if necessary.
- •White Sox lead series 2-0 against Guardians.
- •Game 3 and possibly Game 4 will be held at Rate Field.
- •White Sox won Game 2 after overcoming a 2-0 deficit.
- •Last home series win occurred in 1906 against the Cubs.
- •The team has not reached the ALCS in 21 years.
