Story summary

On October 7, 2024, the Cleveland Guardians won Game 3 against the Chicago White Sox, scoring a decisive 9-3 victory and avoiding elimination in the AL Division Series. The game marked the first time since 1986 that two triples were hit by the same team in a postseason game. Leading contributors for the Guardians were Jo Adell and José Ramírez, who each hit key three-run triples to extend Cleveland’s lead. Despite strong performances from Adell and Ramírez, the White Sox missed their chance to reach the ALCS for the first time since 2005. The series now heads back to Chicago for a decisive Game 4 on October 9, with the Guardians looking to force a fifth game in what has become an intense playoff battle.
