The Chicago White Sox were eliminated from the playoffs after a dominant Guardians pitching performance in Game 5 of the AL Division Series. Despite taking a 2-0 series lead, the White Sox struck out 21 times and managed just three hits in the decisive contest. The Guardians' offense capitalized on the Sox's struggles, securing a 2-0 victory to advance.
Chicago's inability to sustain their early momentum proved costly as they were ousted from postseason contention. The team will now turn their attention to the offseason following a disappointing exit.
