Jose Ramirez delivered again, homering and driving in three runs Thursday night to help the Guardians beat the White Sox 9-5 to send their ALDS to a decisive Game 5.
The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Chicago White Sox 9-5 in Game 4 of the ALDS on Thursday night, forcing a decisive Game 5 in Cleveland. After dropping the first two games of the series, Cleveland rallied from behind twice, highlighted by fifth-inning home runs from Jose Ramirez and Patrick Bailey. A six-run outburst in the sixth inning against Chicago's bullpen secured the victory for the visitors.
Both teams combined to use 15 pitchers in a high-intensity battle of the strike zone. Cleveland starter Parker Messick worked only 2 1/3 innings, prompting manager Steven Vogt to utilize six relievers before bringing in probable Game 5 starter Gavin Williams to record the final three outs. The winner of Saturday's Game 5 will advance to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALCS.
