Tigers watching White Sox ruin GuardsBall for second straight year has been an ALDS joy

Katrina Stebbins of Motor City Bengals writes that Detroit Tigers fans are finding satisfaction in watching the Chicago White Sox take a 2-0 series lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS. After Chicago secured back-to-back victories, the writer argues that Cleveland's typical late-game postseason magic has finally deserted them.

In Game 1, Chicago's bullpen shut out Cleveland, backed by a Munetaka Murakami home run against Parker Messick. Chicago then took Game 2 behind hits from Murakami, Braden Montgomery, and Chase Meidroth, surviving an eighth-inning drive by Jo Adell before Grant Taylor closed out the win.
