White Sox hit a historic mark unlike any other in MLB history in win against the Guardians

The Chicago White Sox achieved modern MLB history by becoming the only team whose bullpen pitched at least 5.0 innings, struck out five or more batters, and earned the win across four consecutive games. Chicago achieved this milestone during a 4-3 comeback victory over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Monday at Progressive Field.

Starter Anthony Kay exited after just one-third of an inning, allowing two runs. Relief pitchers Sean Newcomb, Sean Burke, and Grant Taylor carried the remainder of the contest, with Burke pitching 5 1/3 innings and striking out six to steady the team before Taylor earned the save. Chicago leads the series 2-0 heading into Game 3.
